Who Stores their Z over the Winter
 

Shut her down from Oct to April. Those tires would be disasters in the winter..lol

I drive until the city puts gravel on the roads, and pull her out again right after they sweep it all off. Don't want any chips or windshield damage.

I live in Winnipeg and own a 370z roadster so it's most definitely parked!

GT-R... cause it's AWD....

no options here in Manitoba :icon14:
this is my winter beater

I'm driving my Z to Wpg Saturday, i'm not worried.

Mazda 3

:tup: I had an old pathfinder for a long time! great winter EATER! nothing could stop mine :icon17: I miss that truck……

I now inherited my wife's car an 05 lancer (yes the older much uglier body style :facepalm:)

She got our new SUV after a our baby and I sold the beater and took her car. Once her SUV is paid for I am getting a newer much nicer sedan :excited: only 2 more years if no extra payments are made but why would I that's Z mod money :icon17:

Owned a 1999 Infiniti qx two years ago. Great vehicle. Bought it to go to work while my wife was on maternity leave. Sold it when she went back to work. I kind of miss it.

Yes

did you just stop at the shoulder on the the HWY and take those pics??? :eek:

:iagree:

Parked from Dec 1 to April
Driving my hipster 2013 Dodge Caravan

Definitely store the Z during the winter. Usually from November till April unfortunately... I drive an 04 Jeep Wrangler though in the winter - I absolutely love that too. It's always the best feeling pulling out the Z and getting all that power and handling back. It's like getting a new car every 6 months.

I stored my Z when I owned it. I had to back it out of my garage and turn it around to do some work on it. I really had trouble getting it back up the driveway on the snow.

89. That has to be just about every Z sold in Canada. :rofl2:

I had the exact same problem today!!!!! LOL

Mine got stuck at the bottom of the driveway yesterday with summer tires on:rofl2: the main roads were dry so i thought i'd take it to the gym. Unfortunately it took me over an hour to get help and get it back up the driveway. never again lol the summer tires were totally useless with just an inch of snow and slight inclined driveway

I heard that damages/cracks summer tires

Winter
 

We've been lucking out this year. No snow in my part of town at all this year and I've only dragged the umbrella along maybe twice. It had to be 15 C today and we've had a bunch of days much the same. Everything is starting to bloom.
Z will be out in 9 days and counting. Even went out and peeked under the cover today. Yahoo.

104

saw a red 370z on the way home yesterday... looked so odd covered in salt and skinny tires.

hoping to start rolling it out in a month... *prays*

Last winter was a long one after I just bought a kawasaki ninja in September waiting to ride it all winter, and now this one has been long as well after buying my Z in October(still has insurance on it I drive it when it's been dry for a few days and most of november) but it still will be nice to see it out on a beauty spring day.

fixed…. :icon17:

:iagree::driving:

Out for a winter rip through the Rockies.

how many clicks you at now 90ST?

I'll be 331,000 kms tomorrow by the time I'm home. I haven't been out much the last couple months.

:eek:

:iagree: :eek:

I bet by the time I get my Z out 90 ST will have 300,000km more then me!

Depends...when you're bringing out your car, and where you are at now...lol But good chance.

2003 Accord coupe in the winter. Bought it in Jan 2009 when I was an intern and it has served me well. :)

car is sitting just <44k kms it also won't be out until middle to late April :ugh2:

Lol, very good chance then.

:tup: not going to lie, but part of me is jealous of all the seat time you have had with your Z :driving:

It has been fun, the coast hwy last summer from Aberdeen WA to San Diego was awesome!

That's close to where I am, 46,100km on her (2010). I remember breaking 40k last summer and thinking 'I can't believe it has so many KM now!' Then I see cars like 90ST's though and some buddies with G's that have 2xx xxx and it makes me feel good, just knowing I can expect to enjoy mine for years and years to come :driving:

so the weather said snow/ice rain/ slush/ blahh forecasted for the next few days... saddends me that end of march seems like a bit of a push to bring her out.

i guess i'm a bit antsy because my stillen cbe is sitting in the basement begging to make some noise lol...

She's out today!

Reminds me of when I had my bike. I owned it for 5 years and put 15000 kms on it. My buddy owned his for 2 years and put 30000kms on it. Bottom line, he got a lot more money's worth, seat time and enjoyment then I did out of the bike.

Same holds true for our cars.

For those that stored it for the winter, are you guys changing the oil as soon as possible not that the weather is nice again?
