stop home.

trust me.

I just went out of the garage because I needed to clean the garage.

I got stuck the moment it hit snow, completely stuck, I needed 3 people to push me out.

the only real thing you can do is put weight in your trunk

After having that experience last winter, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I have quite a few years of snow driving experience and the Z would not move with the stock tires. I ended up renting a car until I got my snow tire setup.

I've heard of some people getting by in under an inch of snow with very slow, cautious driving. Consider starting in 2nd gear and keeping your speed very low.

The safest option would be to get a taxi and then pick up the car when the roads are clear.

Drive very slow and cautiously. Try to use the most heavily trafficked roads because they will typically have the least snow on them and will often be salted. Basically never use 1st gear. Get it home ASAP and park the car.

Honestly, VDC has to be turned off and use common sense. No hard accelerations and no sharp turns. (VDC off while driving on super snowy roads... Once VDC kicks in and locks the wheels... you will be stuck... it's better to have the wheels spin instead to lock them).


RWD and snow is not a big deal, once upon a time all cars were RWD. The fact that you have summer tires is gonna handicap your driving.
