Its hard but when you see mustangs or the like in the ditch because they dont drive a winter car it gives me the strength to carry on lol

Usually its November through the end of March for me that I cant drive mine.

DAN

This year will be my Z's first winter/storage period. Then I have to go back to driving my Mitsubishi eclipse -_-

Tommorrow after work I am putting her back together and going for a drive. How the hell do you guys go for months without driving your cars in the winter months? Only two days and I am going bat **** crazy!:crying:

:iagree::iagree::iagree:
Never had to store cars here... guess we're lucky in that aspect...

I can see where that would help keep you warm during those long winter months. :tup:

I used to have an '07 350Z Roadster that I kept covered in the garage from December through March because of the snowy winters here in CT. I also had a Toyota Matrix that I drove as a daily driver. After 3 years owning the Z, I couldn't justify paying for a car that sat in the garage for 3 months out of the year so I traded it for a MazdaSpeed3 and sold the Matrix. The MS3 is no Z and I craved to have a Z again and kicked myself for getting rid of it. I ended up trading my MS3 for the '09 370Z after having the MS3 for just 4 months. It was the best decision I ever made! I love my 370Z, drive it as my DD, and don't plan on parting with it until the wheels fall off! As far as winter goes, it is a concern because it's an hour drive to work and the winter can get pretty bad in CT but I'll work around it. I'll most likely get snow tires but I figure if the weather is too bad, I'll just take the day off. Bottom line....drive it and enjoy it. Life is too short! Who knows what tomorrow will bring!

Car is back together and back on the road, all is right with the world again. Three days was about all I could handle.:icon17:

There's more to life than a Z..........for some of us anyway. Mine is stored for 5-6 months/yr. Whatever.

It's a car, I drive it year round. I even keep the stock tires on it when it snows, proper driving technique helps. :tup:

I spend alot of time in the garage staring at her. And buy parts online alot in the winter months.

Yeah.. as other's said.... BLIZZAKS. It's a car. Drive it. It's not a collectible.
