Toyota Tacoma. I live in the boonies of Ontario...the snow is normally higher than the Z would be. Tires don't make a damn bit of difference....clearance does. The truck is high and four wheel drive doesn't hurt.

Either drive a '13 Grand Cherokee TrailHawk, or a '08 Power Wagon.

It's both.

It's absolutely both. Snow tires on a Z only make it possible to drive it in snow, and perhaps slightly less dangerous. It certainly doesn't make it fun, and it certainly doesn't make it safe.

This is Minnesota. We don't screw around with our winter vehicles. First flake of snow and the Z goes in the garage for its long winter nap. Having said that, we've had several days in the 40's - 50's and the snow/ice has melted off the roads. I uncovered the Z, took it off the battery tender and drove it all day on errands today. Pushing the season for sure...normally it's rare that I can even drive the thing in March. I have no illusions though. History suggests that some of our biggest snowstorms happen in March.

I strictly drive my Z on week ends. My daily drive since last week is VW Jetta now, it replaces a Dodge Dakota SLT.

2004 Sentra 1.8S for whenever it's below 40F or I have to go to Wal-Mart (or any crowded parking lot).

I don't think Texas suffers during winter time.
Beautiful NSX though.

What do you drive, besides the 370Z? Winter vehicle
 
My second vehicle is a 2015 KTM Duke 390 motorcycle haha. I drive my Z in the rain all the time, and one time snow. Only snowed for a little in Eugene Oregon.

Lol audi official number is always conservative.

0 - 60, audi is faaast and grippy on road surface.( S tronic shifts seamlessly)

Z is more fun and power band is good too. i have it build for track mainly and gotta admit, be a man and drive stickshift on track! :rofl2:

Too6Z 03-13-2017 11:02 PM

2013 VW Jetta SE, not glamorous but a solid DD and the heated seats are awesome when it's cold outside.

Nice. Gas or diesel?

chubbs 03-14-2017 04:25 PM

1992 Talbot Express Auto-Sleepers Rambler GL. Used when it snows, or if I need 4 seats. Apparently it's name is Elspheth (signwritten above the windshield).

It's only a standard Titan (not an XD) so just the VK56VD gas engine. Should be enough for anything I'll be doing though.

Chan Chee Hoe 03-14-2017 06:24 PM

Just a bit off Topic,just read the News,North East America,still having heavy Snow this 2 Days,surprised March still got Snow.

b15 03-14-2017 09:03 PM

March can swing either way. I'm hoping this is the last of it this winter

Fren_Z 03-24-2017 01:01 AM

It's not the best winter car either but I kept my '96 Pontiac Firebird. Butt load of miles but it still runs good.

^^Not the best winter car, but at least you can keep the
Z from the harsh winter we get in IL.

ZeeingAround 03-26-2017 09:58 AM

Nice Pontiac!
I still have a garage queen Fiero.

Drive the NVP3500 in the winter with Winter tires and the 2001 Chevy Silverado.
I keep it because of this:

Rolled over 52k km. Picked up some fuel system cleaner. Gonna run current tank down (storage tank) then run this through and after a tank or two more get the oil changed.
