Why risk crashing a brand new Nismo with the rough winters in Chicago? You'll save a lot of money purchasing it in the winter just to turn around and slam it against a pole. The Zs are NOT adequate for driving in rain, snow, sleet... May I suggest picking up a DD that would fare better during the winter and use the Z for better weather?
