...one of the few advantages of the Tropics, I guess! Greetings from Puerto Rico, dudes!

i'm not sure if we'll have problems with flat spotting. Low profile tires have stiffer sidewalls. I've stored a couple cars in the past without moving it, never had a problem... as long as the tire kept air.

Well I am now in the club of parked till snow ment

j.arnaldo · 11-01-2009, 10:40 AM

The exact opposite applies down here, dude! The blazing sun kills the glossy finish on the paint job. I live in a condo', so my '04.5 Touring Coupe hardly ever sees a shade. The only advantage to the Caribbean's weather is that I can ride her 365 days a year. Greetings from Puerto Rico, guys!

damn I wish lucky you
Greetings from the soon to be white Canada

Draxxus · 11-01-2009, 02:02 PM

meeeeeeee to, me to.

Man I feel your guys pain. We are still in the mid to upper 80's here. Oh wait, I guess I don't feel your pain. All I feel is the warm sun beating down on my skin.

Still... I haven't picked up my Z yet so really you have it better than I do. I'd rather have snow outside and a Z in my garage than sunny weather without a Z.

But soon I will have both!

A common misconception about Canada.... however I could use a third garage and an igloo would be a lot cheaper..... ;P

On average we don't even get to freezing here in Victoria

Draxxus · 11-04-2009, 07:43 PM

tomorrow Nov 5 its suppose to be +15 C omg thinking about bring her out for the weekend

Snakes709 · 11-04-2009, 09:09 PM

Well it was never my intention to store my Z for the winter. But i leave friday for a 1 month field ex. and then i got pretty much all of December off and then off to the Olympics from Jan 14ish to March 26th. So my Z will be going in storage and holy ****...i called my insurence company...before i say what im paying for a premium please dont start all this bs about "omg you are getting raped" I'm 23 years old, 2 accidents, 2 speeding tickets (one ticket was 10 over the limit the other was 40 over) and of course i own the Z and only been driving for 2-3 years...so not a really good record.

Anyways im currently paying $5300 a year for full coverage. Talked to my insurence company to see if i could drop it down to PLPD...didnt want parking insurence because i might have to drive it during the X-MAS break we get. So after going through Bank of Nova Scotia to get there permission to drop the insurence it dropped from 5300 a year to 1300 a year....$4000 dropped...god damn!.

I was thinking about doing some mods but im just going to leave it. Doing some work to my ZX6R and might possibly get a turbo system fab'ed up.

Bring you Z out to Vancouver with you - you can pretty much drive year round out this way.... I guess getting over the Mountains may be a problem

I just got my '72 240Z storage insurance from ICBC for six months - it in my garage so its going to be a whopping $30 for the six months
