i drive MT with snow boots... even heel toe since no SRM on my dd.

Aww, mann... it ain't like that! My Ranger is a 2000 with 145K miles on it. It's in really good shape and was well maintained, but it still qualifies as a $3,000 paid-in-cash beater.

Me, I love the idea of taking my Z on a ski trip, equipped with snow tires and a roof rack. I'm likely going to get a trunk rack for my S2000 for trips when the trunk space is not enough. All my cars see snow. All my cars serve as pickup trucks from time to time... that's how I roll and I love it.

Aside from not wanting to drive my Z in PA's winter, mainly to avoid the salt and other crap on the road, being a homeowner who is really into his yard and other home improvements makes something more "utilitarian" than the Z and absolute necessity.
That said, I regularly take my Z to the airport with my luggage and I can fit my light kit and stands in the hatch when everything is arranged correctly. All those years of playing Tetris paid off for something. My beauty dish does have to ride in the passenger seat, though.
Can I live with my Z as a daily driver? Sure! But it's easier to go to Costco in the truck

Good morning gang. Happy Friday

TGIF!

I think we're supposed to get into the 80s here today

Good morning brothers and sisters.

It is pouring rain outside today as I sit and contemplate my commute to my laptop sitting on the dining room table. I am hoping the weather improves before my trip to Fresno/Dinuba on Sunday. I am driving the 370 to give her some excercise and also so I can sit in my hotel room and worry about her in the parking lot. Then, it's back home very late Monday and up at 330 Tuesday to fly back to Burbank for a week of fun at a client site.

Have a great day everyone.

I'm leaning towards the full leather. I like the alcantara but I'm unsure of the feel/quality. I dunno...

I'd go full leather -- just never full retard. Don't believe me? Ask Sean Penn, I am Sam -- 2001. He went full retard, came back empty-handed.

Moddiction just mentioned how the suede doesn't breathe at all, so summer with the top town = massive back sweat.

As much as I like the Alcantara I would go with the full leather, just think it would hold up better over time
