I wish it was 80 here in the great white north.

Daily driven here, salt or no salt. As long as there's no accumulation for me to get stuck on, she's going out

The only time i wouldnt care was if i was leasing the vehicle.

I don't really care about salt. Just have to run it through the touchless wash after any significant build up and it's fine. Detail the car in spring and fall and you're good to go. There's only so much you can do with Nissan paint, though. At the end of the day you just have to remember it's just a car.

Which I am, so that explains it lol, I mean I baby the **** out of my car even though it's a lease but yea it would probably not see winter if I owned it and it was my weekend car. I kind of enjoy the luxury of being able to use it everyday though without thinking twice. My friend has a nismo he got 3 years ago and has like 2000 miles. Can't enjoy it as much starring at it in the garage.

Way back in 2005 I leased an rx8 and when it came time to hand back in it was nothing but a headache. They tried to rape me with a whole bunch of extra charges that were not even legitimate. That kind of steered me away from leasing again.

Just got down shoveling the driveway a second time. 4-5 inches of that heavy snowball making snow.

I'm on my 3rd straight lease. Never had a problem. Maybe it was just Mazda. My dad never had a problem with his BMWs either upon returns. If all goes as planned, this will be my last lease.

I'm so tired of this weather/snow we are getting on the east coast.. wish i was lucky to be on the west coast.

nmjaxx9 · 12-15-2013, 04:21 PM

Wheeeeeee

Kinda sad how all these weather peeps think they control the weather, making you think something is wrong.

When the weather is just perfect, Z is garaged though

CrownR426 · 12-15-2013, 08:36 PM

I've driven my Z during winter time, I wish I invested in winter tires.
I don't think you really need 18's just snow tires on 19's should be good too.

Nice break of 60 degree weather in Connecticut. Now back to the cold stuff

I drove in the snowstorm last week and as long as I made sure to avoid hills I was fine

just had a wash and wax and looks good to me

kfull · 12-24-2013, 10:58 PM

I'm rocking blizzak lm-60's. They're great in the snow. Hoping for another storm!

AestheticCM1 · 12-29-2013, 11:05 PM

I thought my old 328i was tricky in the snow until I drove the Z with summer tires in 2 inches of snow-- it was easily one of the least favorite drives of my life.
