No driving in salt or heavy rains. I prefer sunny days but if I know I have time to wash her id drive in the wet. Most of the time I don't have the lux to wash or detail each time so I just don't get her dirty to begin with.

Don't drive in snow or salt still on the road and if I know it will be raining. Did drive it in a gully wash on the way home from last years Imports at Carlisle. Took me 3 hours to detail it afterwards. My Z is actually my 3rd car, 1st in winter is 2005 Nissan Titan, 1st in summer 2003 Mitsu Eclipse with vert. doors. So the Z is only a good weather car.

All my previous toys have never seen rain. Period. Ever. If chance of precipitation is greater than 20% she doesn't come out.... even more so snow. So my toys are only fair weather/garage queen cars, driven maybe 1x or 2x a week. Plus now that we have a kid, I have to take turns dropping him off and picking him up so Zena gets driven even less

She only has 500 miles on her since I bought her last year.

Had a 1993 FD RX7, never seen rain. Also had a 2003 G coupe with 13k miles and never seen rain when I traded her in for Zena.

It's my DD , but when there is snow the Z don't go.( I use Mrs Evils' AWD Volvo XC-70 with a cbe and cai)

USMCASA · 04-07-2011, 08:39 AM

its my DD and I drive it in all weather other than hail, snow is defeated by the awesome michelin tires I have and it doesn't snow often in NC

I drive mine everywhere and love it. But the girls got a FX35 for those "Costco days".
