I drive my Z all through the winter now, even here in the Northeast US. I have snow tires on it (Blizzaks) and it's better than FWD cars with all-seasons on. I did get a door ding recently, but that can happen any time of the year. I got a couple rock chips in the paint, but that can happen any time of the year. However, if you only drive it on weekends, less time driving = less wear & tear over time = less fun, IMO.

2008 Subaru Sti and a 1996 Volvo 850 turbo wagon. I actually enjoy driving the wagon more in the winter.

My second vehicle is a 1999 Toyota Sienna (minivan). I only drive my Z when the roads are sufficiently dry and the salt appears to have disappeard.

Me too, love the toyota minivans mines close to 200,00 and running strong!

A 2007 Audi S4. Drives better in the snow than the Z and has a backseat! Still get to row through the gears though... keeps me happy until the salt trucks go away for summer.

Those Datsun's are what started my love affair for the Z cars... Nice ride Mr.Onzedge!

Thanks -- I love datsuns and always have. You have to be a bit of a masochist to love 41 year-old Z's, though.

i made the mistake of selling my dd when i had my first z just so i could buy more performance parts for it. The results were i ran that car into the ground. One yr i put 22k on it. Now ima play it smart and drive this one only when i go out or wana have fun. So i still have a dd for work and my 1198 for even more fun.

Do bikes count? I have a couple of those.

08 gsxr 600
06 klx110

my significant other has a 2011 dodge ram sport and 2- 2009 r6s and a Honda crf 450.

None of the bikes are street legal though. Lol

Yes, I have a 2nd car for Winter, too.

In fact, we Z owners NEED a 2nd car, in case that Screwing Lock Failure happen.
