I brushed snow and ice off of her, started her up and took her for a spin around the block to see how the blizzacks worked.. I was amazed.. Have another car to travel in and wont be driving in snow unless necessary but at least i know I can now.

Have about 19 inches of snow outside mind you... roads were plowed but she did good through layers of thick snow and even up a hill covered in ice. Blizzacks LM 25s FTW

I got to leave work early so I got to enjoy a wide empty highway for some spirited driving. Had a huge smile on my face when I got home.

Brushed snow off of it with my soft gloves and let it run for a bit after I got home from the holidays. Parked it in a spot that the apt. complex plowed nicely, under the street light where it belongs for all to see

Look at it after about 5 days of not seeing my Z, X-Mas vacation.

^looks awesome, Triple!

I ordered center caps finally...but I think I want new wheels. My friend just showed me CCWs new wheel on his 350. Only they made wheels bigger than 18"...that's just too small for our cars

Installed my simota1 fuel gauge overlay:




Came up with a solution to the problem of high winds lifting my cover off of the car:




I found these big-a** magnets at Harbor Freight for about $3 each. They have a 95 lb. pull rating, so they should be strong enough to prevent the cover from lifting off of the car in windy conditions.
The magnets were bare metal when I purchased them. I coated them with Plasti Dip rubberized paint to add grip and make sure there wouldn't be any rough edges left exposed to wear a hole in the cover.

The weather broke for a bit here. Snow is all but gone. Took the z out for a ride.
She got dirty but it was worth it.
Put her back in the garage all clean and with a full tank of 93. Just waiting for another chance to get my fill before spring.

After not driving her for about a month and half because of the snow I finally decided to pick her up at my work. gave her a wash and finally took her back home.

I installed the remote gain control for my subwoofer amp. I had not planned to use it, since the Pioneer HU has a sub out level adjust. However, I found myself fiddling with the sub out level too often, and it is deep enough in the menu system to be a driving distraction. One more console switch blank filler put to use. Beautiful weather here in Dallas, chilly but cloudless blue skies.
