How do you northern guys do it?

MACSIMIZER · 07-04-2012, 09:24 PM

My car has been stuck in the garage for 2 days now with the door handles off being painted. I walk by it longing to go for a drive but can't. 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!

I'm often away from my Z for extended periods of time, and every time it gets harder and harder to be without the Z!
I'm moving somewhere with a lot of snow soon, but will be getting rid of my STi (brother is taking it over..), and I assure you, I will be placing studded tires on the Z. Winter won't get in my way of my Z!

screw storing the car. Mine was DD all year round. It worked great at -59*C and a crap load of snow

KERMIT · 07-04-2012, 10:47 PM

Winter tires, that is all

It hurts and it sucks

But at the end of the day, you have a big countdown and you appreciate the Z even more when you can finally drive her again. This year she was only in storage for 3.5 months as the weather got great really early....so wasn't bad

how do we do it? ............. we convulse vigorsly , twitching at the very thought of the car being garage bound. .. have a case of Torette's and say random curse words...

followed by a poor attempt to stand, only to collapse into a lawn chair with the head tilted back.. and eyes glazed over......... at the car... buckets and rivers of Drool pooling beneath...

Appropriate prescription medication from a health-care professional who understands... my doctor has to park his Aston Martin too

Thank you for this thread. My rocket will be garaged this winter.
I am Z junky.
Now that i have admitted it i can plan for the upcoming DT's.

gomer_110 · 07-05-2012, 08:54 AM

I cry myself to sleep every night during the winter. I've even been known to go out and sit in the Z just help with the separation anxiety.

UNKNOWN_370 · 07-05-2012, 09:05 AM

Hahahaaaa... when I had my FD in NY, I garaged it from nov to april. Occasionally pulling it out in the winter every now and again for the occasional romp. I would just buy a lot of shyt for it in the winter and chill all summer.
Besides, I was single in NY and the best way to get the hott ladies is to ride the trains and buses. So I usually occupied my mind with rackin up on numbers n gettin azz all winter. Then roll out pimpin' in the summer with the FD .

Basically now going out farther with the car in the summer to get more azz. Lol

I miss bein single in nyc.
