Well as far as I could tell, they actually didn't end up salting the roads. I was very surprised. I'll still probably make sure to wash underneath though.

I agree with what GSRX50 said. I just don't drive the Z in bad weather. I have seen the cars driven year round here in KC/KS. They might have nice paint and shine but are being rusted out from the underside. Drive a beater in the winter if at all possible.

yep, plus for me why drive my fun car looking all nasty? completely defeats the purpose of having a toy car in my case.

i like my toy car to be clean and shiny all the time.

Toy cars are usually stupid fun in the snow.

yah, have fun out there. lol

i hate seeing my G with stock wheels and snow tires + all the grime.

no meaning for me owning a toy car if i had to do that.

if i could only have one car it would not be a Z and would be more of a regular folk car... i donno, probably something like an audi avant (wagon). and would play with RC cars instead.

If you were going from VA to NC on 95 all the bridges were salted...

Still, it's best to remove it as soon as possible. There is certainly no harm in removing it as soon as you can.
