My Z was my winter beater! Lol

I grew in Winnipeg, affectionately referred as Winterpeg...
In the mid-90s, I drove a 1987 Toyota Supra for a few winters. On slippery surfaces, it did fine as long as I started in 2nd. Deep snow, however, was its enemy. I have a feeling the Z would be much the same experience. Corrosion would be my biggest worry, as some have pointed out, from the salt and grit on the roads in the winter. While the Supra was drivable with a bit of conscious effort put into keeping the torque down on slippery surfaces, it rusted badly after its second winter. When I got it, it was a pristine condition with its original paint. Given the choice now, I wouldn't do that again, and likely get a cheap winter-beater for the winter months. Best of luck! |
I was just thinking about this winter beater thing, here in Colorado public transit is pretty abundant here, I use it anyways. That and lyft

What are you leaning towards? Z year round, or Z + winter beater? |

Ur telling me, I got asked for money ON THE BUS, he made me take my headphones off for him to ask me for money. I may do the Z year round expect on heavy snow days (snow here only last 2 or 3 days at the most) maybe Z with transit until I get a winter beater Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Main thing: enjoy your Z! It's really a fun ride. |

I know exactly what you're talking about and I've watched plenty of them get pulled out of ditches and from ravines of Hatcher Pass. You didn't get a response because what you said didn't deserve one. |
It might be a shorter list to raise hands of who DIDN'T grow up in Winnipeg lol
Had an 87 supra Turbo and drove it for two winterpeg winters. It wasn't ideal but it wasn't terrible. I remember one January I had to take my 78 280z to the shop for paint. I knew it wasn't going to be a great drive so pulled out late Sunday evening so there would be little traffic. Steps outside of the garage found I couldn't let the clutch out slow enough, with no skinny pedal, to even get moving. Just sat there and spun. Finally got some extra weight in the back and made it to the road. Was driving ok but had no heat and the inside of the windshield fogged right over so did a Jim Carrey and drive with my head out the window so I could see. This in the middle of January! My god was it cold. Thankfully it was only about 5 or 6 miles on practically abandoned streets. A 370z by comparison would be a dream in the winter :p Though I have every intention of parking mine in the garage. |

You've yet to tell me why I need a wrecker. Hint, a ditch isn't a valid reason. Now, a wrecker might need me but alas that's a story for another time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using Tapatalk |
I actually recently bought my Z as a winter beater :P granted I don't have far to go to work and I will be away most of the winters anyway.
