Same here. Considering the cost of winter rims and tires = 2k, adding 2k more will get u a beater already. Plus insurance savings of $200/mth (for me) so it makes perfect sense to store the z and drive a beater

Wow, you guys are paying $200/month for insurance??? I am definitely paying far less. In fact, if I were to make some additional but minor changes, I would be paying around $150/month for insurance on the Z. By the way, I drive less than 8,000km annually. My 2005 Acura RSX has only about 66,000km mileage at the moment. Sadly, my RSX got rear-ended three times in the last five years. That's twice at the same intersection. And the cost of repair through insurance has been less than $800 for all three.

I'm paying around 140 a month

That sounds right. Not the $200/month mentioned earlier, LOL.

For once, being a bit older, pays dividends. I only pay about $90 a month - $1100 for a year, all perils, 2 mil liability.

And oh yeah - she's in the garage, washed, waxed, covered and otherwise winterized.....protected from corrosion and the other nastiness that's out there right now.

To be more precise I pay $16x.xx/mth. $200/mth is just a round up and not exactly what I'm paying. Just easier to calculate.

$ 81.60 / month, 2009 370z.
much older than you guys

Ya I know I have lost it, lost it was last week this week I am crazy!!!!!! I always hate christmas, between putting up with the mass stupidity of society and knowing that I will be stuck in places I would much rather not be (christmas dinners)!


Ya kinda close to London, but really I am closer to Kitchener-Waterloo. I don't mind the snow though cause I love snowboarding!


:iagree: splitting the KMS is really nice, especially when it is the harsh weather the Z is not seeing!

As far as the insurance issue, I am only 24 and pay $203/month for full coverage..... but for parking insurance I am only paying $33 so the savings are huge! plus on the beater I only spent >$1000 to get one! Then to get PL PD insurance (the bare minimum to drive in Ontario) it is dirty cheap, just under $60. I also have gotten just over 2 years of driving out of my last one with no problems! I love it cheap and I don't care about them to much so I can use it to do any odd jobs and fill it full of crap! this year I got a 97 pathfinder, the last 2 summers when I was driving a 95 pathfinder. Both cost me less then $1000 and as I said I got 2 years out of my last one and still got $450 back on it when I sold it in the spring and got my 370!

LOL, that's one heck of a round up. $160 is much cheaper than $200 a month. That would amount to an additional $480 a year if you were paying the latter for car insurance.

By the way, a question on insurance, I know some insurance offers $0 deductible and etc. but your monthly premium goes up. What's your take on that ? Is it really worth getting $0 deductible for collisions and upsets as well as no coverage for windshield repair.

I would say no it's not worth going $0, unless you have bad luck or are a bad driver...... I go $500 just for the little bit of savings. But also if the accident is not your fault (you are actually not at fault/not charged from the officer) then you don't even pay your deductible because it is on the other drivers insurance cause they are at fault.......

Same here. Mine went up this year from $81/mo to $88/mo.

Was gonna reply again....then thought....holy hijacked thread!!!! :icon18:

haha :iagree:

But this thread is pretty repetitive when I comes to Z sightings though, I mean you might as well post when you see any rare car.............. :ughdance:

I can't believe it but i actually saw a grey Z today! It was heading north on warden and steeles at around noon. I only glanced it but it had some black winter rims, I think they were steel ?!???!!?!?!?! but not sure

I saw an audi R8 the other day. Mostly black but with all the salt it was turning white. I started to cry a little

lol... richboi's winter beater.

Wow, you guys are lucky (or i should really shop around), I thought $188/mo was a good deal!

I got winter tires but still stored my car, but of course my winter car has all seasons (long story lol)!

Gotta love it! In Waterloo there's a yellow corvette I pass every day on my way home some lady is driving it. I :shakes head: every time I see it! and I honestly hate GM products and would never own one (again, or recommend them to any one) but I just don't understand her logic:ugh2:

The corvette is still a nice car. But for the money, I would rather buy a Porsche, just my personal preference, or may be a M3 coupe, or may be a SLK or may be...

Just saw a white z going west on hwy 7 near leslie

LOL, someone was actually driving their Z in the snow storm this afternoon ? They are brave. I have not yet driven my Z in the snow to test the snow tires.

Just got back from Vancouver. Saw quite a few Z's out there. Oh to be on the West Coast and not have to store the Z in winter time.

I also saw a salt covered 40th parked beside the Hummingbird Center Downtown - Monday last week before I headed west.

I will be heading down to Toronto at coming Feb.. Visiting some of my frds there..If you saw a 40th Z with headlight moded..thats me..

A few minutes ago i saw a z southbound on kennedy north of finch. Not sure what its color was since it was dark

I want my car back!

Just saw a black z stuck in traffic in the southbound 404-dvp junction

Just saw a black non-sport Z on Kennedy + Main Street, License plate is something like D 88.

Saw a white Z last night at 16th ave heading west

Some lucky person was driving a very clean looking black 370Z with Sport Pkg today north on Trafalger Rd just above Derry at 430pm. I was in my salt encrusted daily driver....cannot wait for April and getting the Z out again.

Ok who's the white z that was tailgating me on kennedy road today? :tup:

Saw a black non-sport Z last night at Commerce Gate, license plate "D 88".

I see you quite often lately.

Saw a red Z with mod rims/tires parked on the north side of College St, west of Yonge St., not too far from the police headquarter, in downtown Toronto at around 6:45ish pm on Saturday Feb 12. I was driving eastbound on College St., turning north on Yonge St to go for an evening spin. Went out again at around 9:30ish but it had already left.

Spotted a Grey Z'ed at Yorkdale..
-Wash the salt off!

Just saw a white z going south on kennedy just south of steeles

Saw 2 z's today. First was a bit after 1 pm which was a black roadster going north on kennedy just north of hwy7. Not sure if he saw me or not since i was in the far lane going south.

The other was about 5:15 pm. It was a black base coupe. He pulled out of the plaza at hwy7 and woodbine right in front of me. I was right behind him for a short distance then overtook him on the right lane and as i was passing i honked and waved my hand in greeting. The guy totally ignored me!!!!! I then had to stop at the redlight on warden and as he caught up to me he was in the far left lane to make a left turn and he still acted like I didnt even exist!!!!!! What a douchebag. :mad:

I saw a silver Nismo today, at the car show lol

Lol nice! Was it worth while? I was considering going this week.

How come I never see any z's?

I was planing to go maybe next thursday..:tup:
