You do realize that if you don't make it to the gym, it's not the end of the world...

You should do it. You'll be amazed at how proper winter tires make snow just like any other day on the road.

Agreed.
Seriously, spell check, punctuation, paragraph structure and capitalization are your friends. Edit: Double edit. No sense in being mean.

10 sacks of 60lb Quickrete concrete in the boot and passenger flooring, over inflate tires by 5-7 psi(unless using snow tires); fixed.
Technique, if manual - start in second around 5K rpm releasing accelerator immediately when you can idle, then shift to 3rd to go faster than 2nd idle-speed. Automatic - Try not to come out of 2nd, if you need to go faster, set your shift light to ~3,500 rpm. This is just my suggestion if you have to drive the Z. Feel free to do as you feel safe. To me, snow and ice is 'basic'. Tornadoes at night are the challenge. (learned to drive in a '54 Chevy deuce and a half flatbed 4-speed with no 3rd gear/learned to drive in snow in a '67 Pontiac GTO manual) Glad to hear you didn't ruin your car, yourself, or anyone else or their car.

Nothing is going to make a summer compound drivable on snow and ice.
