what weather do you or don't you drive your Z in?
I can see that the Z is a second car to a lot of people here. I'm just curious what you do or don't drive your car through. Do you avoid driving it in the rain? Do you drive it all year, even in the snow? Just curious to what everyone does.
I've only had my car for a month so i haven't decided what will determine when i drive it but i know that i wont drive it in the winter at all but ill prob drive it through some rainy days a little.

No snow. No rain if I can help it. Hmmm so since I live in Chicago I figure I drive it about 5 days out of the year. lol

Stays in the garage all winter (about 3-4 months) Has only see rain twice and thats only because my DD blew up and I had no other car. Other then that she is only driven once or twice a week on nice days.

Z's a recreational vehicle for me. Altima Coupe is DD, so that the Z goes out only in nice weather. Bought her December 1, 2009. Never saw precipitation. 5,000 mi. in 17 mos. Garaged at home and at work. She has a real nice life!

It's my DD, but I drive it whenever I can. Only times I didn't drive it were when there were several inches of snow already on the ground. Drove it while it was snowing once (not sticking to the road) and once when the road had about an inch of ice + snow. It did a lot better than I thought it would even with summer tires and being my first RWD car. I do not advise you to try this out for yourself though just from what I'm telling you.
I'll have to drive it in the snow next winter though. |

I don't drive when there is snow out, or when there is still salt on the roads. I sometimes drive in the rain, but I usually take the Subaru if it's raining out when I leave.

On clear and dry days and home soon as possile if it rains. I trust myself, just not others in a car like this. I have several other " disposable cars" and could care less with those. So they are driven in the bad weather, work and long hauls with the kids.

I don't drive it in the snow, or rain if I don't have to. Got a DD for that. Not that the Z isn't capable but these people around here scare the bejesus out of me in perfect conditions; add a little bit of moisture and the accidents just pile up.

Nothing but SunShine and the occasional Overcast. 11 Months ownership got caught in the rain once, and it does not snow here so no worries. Like most others that have responded this is one of three of our cars so its a garage queen.
