Anyone else depressed about putting their Z away for the winter?

Well, it's warming up here in Chicago, so I plan on taking mine out for a few days. What I miss most is shifting my own gears. It makes just tooling around town at least a little enjoyable. It's been raining for a few days, so I hope most of the salt is washed off the roads. Car will need a wash before I put away again, but I can't pass up 40 and 50 degree days in January.

It certainly doesn't depress me. The Z car is an absolute pig in Minnesota winters. I own the car because it's fun to drive. But....it's only fun in the non-winter months. Mine is garaged starting with the very first snowflake in November, and doesn't come back out until the roads are completely clear in April. Maybe global warming will shorten that layup period someday, but it certainly hasn't so far.
