Winter... To drive the Z or not to drive the Z

b15

I posed the same question around August and ended up buying a second car. I'm sure the Z would get around just fine on snow tires in light snow, but more than 3inches or so with inclines and I see it having issues. Snowfall is pretty unpredictable in Chicago in addition to the massive amounts of salt they put down so in the end I decided it was best to get a second car.

There's all types of beaters you can get depending on how much you want to spend. I searched for a couple months and ended up with a 2003 Camry v6 in pretty good shape, clean in and out, low miles and up to date maintenance for only $5500. If you really want to be cheap you can find civics/corollas for 3-4k. Body won't be in the best of shape but mechincally, these cars are hard to kill.
