My insurance called me to confirm that my car is totaled :/

This will be the second Z that I have totaled. Both I got rear ended and were not my fault...

I spent 3 hours searching for one in the area that matches mine... but no Touring/Sport with low miles. I bought my parents a car and cant get another note. Im maxed out for now. So depending on what insurance gives me if I can squeeze in another Z than yes!

Drove her this morning to work (won't be here long since it's Christmas eve). Temp indicator showed 7 degrees...and she was just fine. In fact, I didn't notice anything different compared to if it was 50 degrees. Actually had to turn off the seat warmer half-way through the drive.

BTW, this is my first Z, first Nissan, and first RWD vehicle. (I've still only had her less than a year.) With the winters here in Indy I had to talk myself into the car, hoping that by using some extra winter care in driving that I'd be alright. Well I'm here to say that the roadster has been just fine...even without snow tires. This has proven to me that it's not so much the car, but the driver is what matters. Not patting myself on the back, but I've seen plenty of FWD cars in ditches, while this RWD vehicle is just fine.

Still more than impressed with my first Z...even in these frigid conditions (at least for this former Californian).

uhhh...

please stay off the road where i drive. your confidence will wear out when you least expect it. dry roads are fine, wet roads in those temps are a different story when you need to make an emergency stop or maneuver. that's when the right tires will make a world of difference.

+1 to that. Exactly what I did. It's still warm here (heh, desert).

I also get to take pictures for my insurance. As they don't send adjusters to "rural" areas, I have to take pictures of my spoiler and rear bumper (people hitting my car while it's parked ...)

Short day at work, though, so no biggie.

mine are almost going to fall off since the double sided tape is wearing down but was wondering which ones you got. Also how you aligned them to see out the mirrors. PICS PLZ!!!!

I have the rectangular ones and the one on the passenger side is closer to the inside as the driver side is all the way out. Its interesting the lines on this car.

Just bought Kinetix upper control arms so I can dial in some camber up front.
