Its gonna be 50 fking degrees here tomorrow.. :shakes head:

Yeah I'm a little north of ya, I tell ya one thing though, I was coming back home from holiday in cleveland, and i am glad that the expressways were snow free.

I still remember the blizzard last year. no power...too much snow to snow blow, and shovelling didn't do sh!t. So I guess that the no snow thing I am okay with for a little bit longer.

Cuz it could like this again :rolleyes:

I don't know about the next ten days --- at least not here in chicago. I think we'll be ok through next tuesday or wednesday, then the flood gates open Chicago, IL 60640 Month Weather Report - AccuWeather.com. But, who knows.. This can all change by sunday :)

I would not be one bit upset if we didn't get an inch of snow this winter.

EazyD 01-05-2012 10:47 PM

We had snow in October. Which never happens. Snow tires went on.
Now we haven't had snow since then. Which never happens. Fine by me.

Glad I sold my Jeep last year and got winter tires. I still enjoy going to work and the days are getting longer :)

This is why im glad I can store my Z in my own garage where I can still access/take it out whenever I like. Which I have already done a couple times. :tup:

that is my estimation for my area... it's not going to just snow. it will blizzard with tornados and earthquakes and such. :eek:

I could slap you for typing that! ;) damn internets... :gtfo2:

Winter is just fine so far. I'm crossing my fingers for 3 more months like this. You can have your blizzards, just keep them away from me! :rofl2:

Well it turns out, winter in Iowa is nonexistent. I have had frost on my winter car's windshield a handful of times and it has never really snowed or been icy. All I can think is.... I COULD BE DRIVING THE Z. Today it's a high of 55 and sunny, no salt on the roads. It's killing me! Anyone else having this problem or are you midwesterners still driving?

My situation is very similar to yours. I had my 40th stored in a friends garage about two hours away in early December. I've been driving my 95 Civic in the meantime. Although I could be driving the Z, I think its good to keep it out of the elements for a few months as well as keep the miles down.

Same here... we had a little snow around November and I put my 370z away. It hasn't snowed since and we've had like the warmest winters I can remember.

Sucks ;(

WhiskeyHotel 01-06-2012 02:33 PM

Yeah, it's been in the high 60's in Okie City this week. I had to break out the Z for a few days. The wifey even went topless in her Miata one day - sorry, no pics. ;)

MitzMN 01-07-2012 07:17 AM

I hear you guys. I stored mine in the beginning of November. I wasn't about to get into the same situation I had last year, where around the 1st of December, I had to have people slowly push it into the spare garage, it was so icy -- and I have a very small door and it's a very weird swing to get into it.

In Minnesota, all but a couple of days since, that car surely could have been out on the road. The thing about waiting for snow and ice, too, though, is how do you get it pristine clean at home so you can store it if there's snow (and grit, sand and salt) on the ground? Can't do that with a frozen hose. And if you clean it at the car wash, you drive it home and it's all full of crap again.

Oh well, it's safe. That's some peace of mind, I guess.


I remember when I had my 300ZX Turbo -- can't even remember the year anymore -- that I had to drive year round because it was my only car. Wow, was that an adventure. But I was much more adventurous 25 years ago.

I did snow tires with my S2000 and hated that!

With the Z, we have a third garage spot with our old AWD Honda Element. I drive the Z every time the weather is good, and I just take the Element when it gets ugly outside. It's so much better!

Jeffblue 01-07-2012 02:42 PM

this is why i decided to keep my 300zx here in the garage. its like 60 degrees, just went out and ripped it with the T-Tops off :driving:
