I drive mine all winter long except if there is going to be rain, snow, or ice on the road. Im in the very east of Texas, we dont get any snow so im good but if there is it stays in the garage and I use my Jeep grand Cherokee 4x4

Nope...I dread storage in 2 months

I know one or tow local guys who drive their Z in the winter (more power to them) and Montreal winters are WAY WORSE than a Toronto winter...but personally RWD + snow/ice = bad scene

I would maybe consider one of those extremely cold but dry days in winter...but why let salt get it

Since I visit Montreal every year for the Grand Prix, I can see why you wouldn't drive your Z in the winter...way too many hills. Especially with a stick. How you would ever get going with a little snow on the road I have no clue. I've been driving sticks for over 20 years and I don't think I could do it...even with the hand brake trick. No such problem in mostly flat Chicago.

Gosh. Am I the only one old enough to remember when all cars were rear-wheel drive?

I've driven to the mountains on a 240sx with Blizzacks for Christmas. Makes drifting looks easy because I was scared for a good 3 hours driving there.
