lol i think your ankle is probably messed up from all the sitting when you do the RC'ing. or maybe it's when you're tinkering with them somehow the pain that should have been in the wrist migrates to the ankle.

now only if our csc problems could migrate to uhh... failing ac line. yea...

yah, it could be from the RC'ing since i do sit on the floor instead of standing while driving my RC cars. i like watching my cars go around my track at the low vantage point.

but i have a timer set to stop driving after 10min and rest for a while to minimize fatigue.

as for good tips, yes, i think i've provided hibernation tips like over 30x already here. lol

[QUOTE=mishuko;3344356]i liked it for the fact you've driven your z throughout many winters and many km's. unliked for you leaving us for a truck

i mean it's more suitable for your current situation but still... would have been awesome to see you keep the car and drive it to 500k :

I've thought about trying for 500k and keeping the new truck for back up, but 4 cars in my garage is enough. ..if i find another project car i don't have the room. And since i just showed up at home one day with the truck, the wife didn't know, she just seen it in the garage one day...lol she said no mods till the car gets sold.

I still weekend drive my z in the winter. I want to remove the chin spoiler because I fear it will get ripped off and damage the bumper. That's the only real issue I have in snow. Once it packs down it's not too bad.

Does anyone know a way to get the spoiler off without destroying the hardware?

I've left mine on 5 winters in Canada, no problems...I wouldn't worry about it.

OK, ice and snows hit some parts of southern Ontario. I think the time has come for the Zs winter hibernation.

barncobob · 11-23-2015, 09:34 AM

I grew up in the East,snows all the time..thats why i moved..

Wheels3309 · 11-23-2015, 09:37 AM

Sadly, I put mine up for the winter this weekend... just in time as the snow is flying in CNY this morning.

The Z had winter set installed this past Friday. Today is the first time my wife drove it to work on that set.
