Threw the winter wheels on it today and changed the oil. The winter wheels are for storing the car, not driving it! lol

sigh.... how long till spring?

Just picked up my set of snow tires (Blizzak LM60's), so around early December (temps depending) I'll swap out. Former member really hooked me up. Thanks so much. :tup::tup:

What do you mean? You had intentions to drive it at one point?

That's one of many perks living in Vancouver. Mild winters. Which means I can drive the Z all year round.

Even though I am not in Canada, I still have to put the car away in a few weeks. In Cleveland on the south shore of Lake Erie, we get lake effect snow which can put down a foot of snow before you are done shoveling. I imagine that within the next few weeks, the Z will be put in hibernation like last year. The cover and battery tender will keep the old girl warm until next spring. Geez, I hate this time of year. This week, however, it will still be in the 70's so :driving::driving:!

Me too! I saw this thread and thought, put my car away? Why would I want to do that. :shakes head:

Do they not salt the roads in Vancouver? :ugh2: if there's salt then I wouldn't want to be driving my car, it just rots them all to sh!t if there's salty roads

ShinyBlueZ 10-24-2012 12:08 AM

no they don't salt the roads cuz it rarely goes below freezing, if I remember correctly.

however the odd time they do get snow/ice there are literally like 19,000 accidents in 1 day lol

Roads are rarely salted here. If they do, I just don't drive the car for a day or two and when it rains it just washes all the salt away.
