Winter is Coming!!

IF is not snowing or ice on the road I will drive it. Other than that it will stay in the garage.

No snow in FL....

TongMan · 09-08-2010, 08:09 PM

But a lot of tropical storms go through in FL.

No snow here just rain. will drive it year round. i get a payment due every month
i'm not saving it for the next guy to brag about how he bought a low mileage
perfect condition Z.

No put down but never could understand why people hide them in a garage
and just stare at "em".

You sound poor.

TongMan · 09-08-2010, 09:40 PM

I'm pretty poor as well.

steveg78 · 09-08-2010, 10:01 PM

Yeah there should be more choices here. My Z never sees rain and will never see snow either so I answered yes.

me too haha, plus..I bought a car to drive it...it's not like its a lamborghini or Porshe where it only sees bright sunny days. It's always with me

BUT when I hear snow or ice is coming...he'll get tucked away into the garage until the roads are 100% clear. I'm also not worried about salt and all that junk..my car gets washed every 2 days..wheather 90 degrees or 30

you must be single and have no kids.

im just teasing btw. there's nothing wrong with motoring your car every day through rain or snow or salt or crappage. these modern cars are built to withstand most of that.

i just dont have the time or energy to wash it and bring it to my detailed standards every time (would take hours just to wash, dry, dress... my full detail takes over 16-17hrs) so the first step is not to get them dirty. im a dad with 2 little kids that need attention... im here for them, not just for me any more.

I've had a few incidents with my RX8 (mainly just swaying from one side to the other side of the road in heavy snow) so from past experience, I will probably just stay inside when it snows.

Fortunately for my RX8, I never hit anything when that happened.

sonic370 · 09-09-2010, 09:18 AM

Yeah most poor people with 400 credit scores are riding around in 40,000
sports car. i guess it depends on where you live. the next time it snows here
will be the first time. my car is garage kept and the wife says it gets more attention than her,not true! I bought it as a DD. I can understand if someone lives in the winter states,its gotta be hard watching it snow outside and your
Z locked up inside. IMHO.

I drive my Z in the winter, just not in the snow. Its kind of a nice feeling seeing the Z tucked away inside all nice warm and dry while its snowing out.

Nope, mine gets parked in a heated garage for the duration.
