The Z is not necessarily a practical car even for single people. It is an awesome weekend car but as a dd somtimes can be inadequate. But he is so cute/sexy I'm gonna hold on to him a bit longer!

Yea, my '09 only had 7800 miles on it when I purchased it in September of 2012. Not one issue with it so far, and I'll live in it before I sell it :icon23:

Me too. I put some Blizzaks and it did excellent in Colorado Winter.

That was my first thought too -- ha ha ha :icon18:

I came here for a graphic crash video, dang it :icon17:

It's even better if you buy a P.O.S. Jeep Cherokee for less than $2k and add a lift kit. Driving a Z in winter is retarded IMO.:rolleyes:

You're supposed to drive your Z in the summer.

However, driving it in the snow is stupid; that's what 4WD is for. I've seen Z's smashed into guard rails because their owners thought the laws of physics didn't apply to them.

But so many people don't...so i figured I'd mention it. Lol

FWD's make for good slippery road cars too.

I haven't had the opportunity to drive it in snow, but I find the Z to be pretty sure footed for a RWD car.

Modern traction control is a nice thing. In the old days RWD+snow = goes everywhere but where you point it :icon17:

It is, winter tires makes all the difference. I've put on 10's of thousands of miles in the winter in the rocky mountains with out a problem, people just need to learn to drive their cars, both FWD and RWD Hell even the 4X4 crowd. I see more 4x4's in the ditches here in the winter then anything else.

many people with 4x4 and awd think they become instant gods because they have power to all 4 wheels. it just means they can speed into that guard rail faster in the snow :shakes head:

i find that the majority of the 'in-the-ditch' moments are the SUV's like the rx350, mdx/rdx, x3 etc etc. the laws of physics are not kind to those kinds of drivers.

Why would I want to drive a POS for 5 months out of the year? The car did fine with a set of 18's and Blizzaks.

Besides, the only thing I hate more than lifted trucks are Hondas. :inoutroflpuke:
