Winter is Coming!!

Rain and snow is closely approaching. Will you put your 370z away or will you continue to drive it? No snow where I live, only rain, so I will continue

Rain and snow is closely approaching. Will you put your 370z away or will you continue to drive it? No snow where I live, only rain, so I will continue to drive my Z. Discuss.

My little brother went back to college, so I managed to get use of his car for the nasty weather. Only thing is its a 2001 Purple Subaru station wagon

Drove my Z last winter (though not in the snow) and I will drive my new 5.0Z this winter as well (again, not in the snow).

This annual topic has been discussed before ad nauseum.

Answer 1: My Z doesn't even go outside unless it's over 70F, cloudless skies, and all the streets along the route have previously been street-cleaned in the last 2 days. On any day that doesn't meet these criteria, I ride a bicycle or stay home.

Answer 2: On days with any wintery precipitation, I instead drive a junkyard-salvaged SUV with bald tires that I've somehow rationalized is safer than driving the Z with snow tires.

Answer 3: I equip my Z with tank treads and routinely drive it into the Himalayas as I've found it handles better in snow than an M1A1 tank.

My Z is my only car that is drivable in the inclimate weather, so it will be the one until I can pick up a Titan or Frontier.

if they didnt use salt and this new icemelt crap here i would drive the G and Z but it's too corrosive for my hobby cars... so no, they will hibernate during the winter.
