Canadian Z owners Poll Who stores their Z over the winter?

Gurps · 01-25-2015, 09:58 PM

I drive mine all year round as I live in Vancouver and we barely even know what winter is here. Hit plus 14 Celsius today perfect day for a drive. Had my car for three years and driven all year on summer tires. The odd time the weather does turn bad I park it and take transit. Over the last three years I only had to do this once. They rarely salt roads here and when they do the rain just washes it all way. I was my car every month in the front yard as we always get few warm days every month so Easy to keep clean all year.

Hey what ever works for you

you guys have it better in GTA then me out my way. I am more SW in SW Ontario. I live in one of the "snow belts" so there is no shortage of white stuff. However this year has been one of the lightest ones I can remember. I won't complain about that though

I only drive mine once or twice a week in the winter to go get groceries as I walk to and from work. As some one already pointed out - it seems kind of senseless to own a winter beater that is going to sit all winter long.

I did put snow tires on it, though.

That's actually a nice car for daily. You get 1000 km per tank of gas too?!

35 litres..... 600kms.....
I have a 75 litre tank and get 450-500kms.....
Sure the SRT8 has 458hp and 420ftq & all wheels drive... Oh did i mention premium gas only, for a winter better

I do love her..... But some people have it much better complaining about 35/600 vs 75/450 premium

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

cooltoy · 01-27-2015, 12:27 PM

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.

Rfolkers · 01-28-2015, 06:00 AM

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