My poor 370Z...

gplw · 02-13-2013, 01:08 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!

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

I do agree though-if you want to drive it you should

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.

kenchan · 02-13-2013, 01:13 PM

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, 01:20 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

Ouch. Hope this does not turn into politics.

I'm here in Ohio and can't wait to get back Thursday night to SoCal and enjoy the nice weather. On Friday, my day off, I plan on getting up to Los Olivos, drive to wine country pick up a case or two and drive by the ocean on my way home.

Sorry my Z friends who have their cars in hibernation (the positives are low mileage right).

I love it. Sports cars in the snow FTW.
