370z Sightings in Toronto!

My biggest thing about parking my Z is the salt... It only cost me around $4,000 for my winter car. When I look at how much it would have cost for rims and winter tires I don't mind spending maybe an extra $2,000 on a car and knowing my Z will not see salt.

Also as Mike said I save about $50 a month on ins. but that is taken by having to pay for parking so that even's out...

Edit: Another big bonus for me is right now I drive 100+ K's a day so I am able to spread that out between two cars and not overload my Z

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.

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.

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.

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)!

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!


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!
