First Winter for the 370z

I TRIED to drive mine in the snow today. I made it about a half mile, now it's sitting in a driveway (not mine) and I rented a Ford Focus.

I TRIED to drive mine in the snow today. I made it about a half mile, now it's sitting in a driveway (not mine) and I rented a Ford Focus. Snow tires and wheels on the way. I was blown away how bad the sport tires are in the snow. Zero traction. I only had one problem in my 350 in the three years that I had it, but I had all-season tires and of course higher profile tire.
Come on Blizzaks!

You have NO idea how much better this makes me feel. I've basically been having the old internal freaking out all day over not being able to get my car to move. We don't get that much snow here, but our road crews bite the biggest one. They were our for two days spreading brine on the roads before the snow came and I think they were inside all day today watching soap operas. They sure weren't clearing the roads.
