After a three week mini hibernation, I started her up and pulled out into the driveway. My intention was to just get her up to temp and put her away again.
But I couldn't just leave it at that. I went around the block :driving: slowly.
There is still patches of snow in my neighborhood.
I wiped her down and she is tucked away again. :(
I don't know how long this time but I'll look forward to our time together.

I hate winter even more now. :shakes head: The southern states are calling. :hello:

Enjoyed a nice 2nd gear rip up to redline to clear a pack of yahoos jockeying for position at a red light. Not to rub it in, but 74 and partly cloudy here today....

it stopped raining for a while so i took it out of the garage to get some food and do a little bit of cruising. luckily i was driving within the speed limit because before i could spot him, a police car sped up and drove right beside me :)

The weather is one of the best things about living in the south. I can drive my Zs practically year round.

Then again if it was July or August I would be complaining about the heat and humidity. :shakes head:

clemenson- is your z on flatstoppers? tire pressured up to 42psi? :)

why do you do this? you're going to have vapor in the midpipe (exhaust) and your oil temp is too low to get the moisture out of the engine. you're also putting burden on your battery and alternator. if you're going to fire her up, go drive it at least until your oil temp is 180F (15min or so minimum).

or do it like us. dont start the car at all, leave it plugged in, placed on flatstoppers. :hello:

Well that is part of the reason I went around the block. I intend to drive it as the weather permits (which hasn't been cooperating lately) so I do not want to winterize. Its tough to get the oil up to 180 when its 20 degrees out no matter how you do it.
I appreciate the concern though. :tiphat:

hummm... ive had the oil temp up to 180F the last time i drove in sub 30F weather...

anyway, GL! :tup:

Sorry. I was being facetious.

no worries, i think we're all bored here while we wait for spring. :rofl2:

My cover is designed the same way.

:iagree:

Nothing, my baby is sitting in the garage. It has been raining here in Vegas for the last 4 days. I just got it polished, so I'm driving my truck till the rain stops and the roads dry up. Then I can bring her back out and enjoy my nice shiny Z!

Went to go get another session on my tattoo, and when I pulled into traffic from a light I forgot that it was a little chilly out and spun through first and second with traction control on. I kinda apologized to the car afterwards, lol.

Went to starbucks and listened to a kid asking me how fast my car is and that he raced one in an f150 and beat it. Then he asked what color my car was. It's black. Black is black. Don't know of any other variations of black. It's black as black can be. Then listened to him say how awesome it is over and over and over and that he was getting a camero for HIGH SCHOOL graduation. Wow, for high school.
