Anyone else depressed about putting their Z away for the winter?
 
I'm gonna go from hour long cruises every day to public transportation :(

kenchan 11-13-2016 10:35 PM

not really. i have other cars that are fun to drive.

Noop, because I drive it all year long. I don't know how you guys do it up North.

I am, but only because I would rather tuck my e36 M3 away and get it prepped for track duties over the winter. I can't do that because I don't have winter tires for the Z so it'll have to hibernate at least this year.

Depressed? Not quite. The Z is my wife's daily driver/winter beater. It won't look "right" with slightly oversized winter tires, but it will keep on trucking this winter.

i am "up north" and drive it year round, and without snow tires to boot. last year got stuck 3x in snow, hopefully a mild winter this year.

It's about time for me. Taking my Ridgeline in tomorrow to get a few things fixed & ready for the winter. But I've got brand new tires on the Z, so may drive it through a few lights snows. Last year, I put it up in October.
And I'll miss driving it, but having an all wheel drive truck takes away any anxiety of driving in the winter so to me, it's worth the trade off.

I would be if I had to put it away for the winter. No need in Texas though :) :driving:

parked mine two weeks ago. It's not that I can't drive it all winter.. but why would I want to?

Rock chips, salt, stupid drivers... meh... no thanks!

eyeteeguy 11-14-2016 10:40 AM

I would be depressed, but like the folks in TX, no snow in FL. But I would have withdrawals for sure if I had to put it away for any length of time...

DeliriousClam 11-14-2016 11:52 AM

Only time I don't drive it here in NJ is when it can't clear the snow. Otherwise it's out and going

We get a few pristine ice cold Clear Blue Sky days up here in the Portland Vancouver area. I'll take the Z out on those days after warming it up in the garage for about an hour. Oil cooler doesn't like warming up in that cold weather. But once we're out I'm able to drive her pretty hard and she swallows that ice cold air. We have some awesome winding back roads that lead to some really long straight away is out in farm country. I don't like to drive like an *** in town or on the freeway for too long a period of time. But in the countryside..... Then it's back to the garage for storage until next time.
