My poor 370Z...

gplw · 02-13-2013, 02:08 PM

OK, my new Z is my daily drive, I live in Canada, and I knew I'd be driving it in the snow. (And yes, my choice). But it still hurts to see my car like this... Can't wait for the summer!

Fúck it, that makes me happy, you pay for it to drive it!
I wish I had snow to drive my car in!

Thanks for making me appreciate where I live.

I feel your pain. I too used to not have a garage and had to leave my cars outside in the snow and rain. How many times did I come out and see people peering into my windows touching the window or paint.
I get it you want to see the car, but dont touch it SEE it. Either way

I finally have a garage and she is not coming out until there is no salt/sand on the road luckily I have a dd.

Just be careful moving/removing that ice on the paint, it can really cause some paint issues which would need correcting.

yah, sorry to see this.

GL in the snow.

i drove my G in the snow last year, used factory wheels and she did well with LM60's. but the issue with that was i was fine, but car looked like crap with those wheels/tires, and felt like a sitting duck while others slipped and slid, smashed into one another around me. no thanks.

i just take my dd these days.

TheGreatOne · 02-13-2013, 02:20 PM

Props on driving it but hard too see, I feel you there.

I told myself this year I would drive it on absolutely dry cold days but decided to just store it, plus the money I would spend on tires I put towards a lease takever for the winter on a 3rd car. Got that peace of mind too

But again props, I hate RWD in winter also, had a 3 Series as a loaner when the wifes old car was in and man...I was all over the road...did not like it one bit

When you factor in the salt, gravel and other drivers ******* up your paint it isn't really all that exciting.

Glad I live in CA :P

m4a1mustang · 02-13-2013, 03:15 PM

I love it. Sports cars in the snow FTW.

Brutal 370Z · 02-13-2013, 03:19 PM

I feel you bro. I go to school at UWO and I DD my car too :-( Hopefully we have an early spring so we can get our cars detailed and get the summer rims/tires back on soon.

BTW as a side note, have you ever been to that detail shop by wonderland and sarnia near the Acura dealership? great prices, quick, and a good job.

VDC_OFF · 02-13-2013, 03:37 PM

Texas HEAT FTW! Ill take the heat over cold anyday.

raymondo510 · 02-13-2013, 03:37 PM

Ouch

Jasonle · 02-13-2013, 04:02 PM

I'm in Dallas right now and I'm loving this weather! Wish I had the Z down here.

Definitely, because bar a few days/a week or two out of the season it's 60's-80's in Winter.

So perfect.

Biggest plus: You don't have to shovel the heat.

I remember a few years ago I was able to make one snow ball in Houston. That was fun.
