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.

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.

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.

I'm too anal about keeping my Z nice. Doesn't help any that it's got black paint.
