I drove my car in the rain for the first time today. Who would think ot would take 7200 miles and 5 months to manage that one.

There are (perhaps surprisingly so) a number of people on here whose z has NEVER seen inclement weather. Mine is def not one of them!:tup:

Thanks! 2.5S sedan. The CVT is smooth and the ride is so comfortable and quiet. Its perfect for the daily grind stuck in stop and go traffic and it doesn't drink premium. :tup:

Posted a pic in the Mid-A forums.

Meh, my last ride took premium...and I drove it for 9 yrs. I'm pretty much used to it by now! I don't know if I should :) or :(

Yea my last ride also took premium, drove it for 7 years before getting the Z. I am actually excited I can go fill up now and not have to pick 93. Thats pretty sad huh? :rofl2:

Mine don't see snow and barely has been driven in the rain. That is why I have a "huptie" as a DD and the old lady has a SUV. :tup:

True, the only reason i made it so long is because i was at fort hood, tx. I think i did pretty good for it being a dd.

I drove mine in the pouring rain with almost no visibility to ck my DW's performance about a month ago. :D
I do this on occassion to test footing.

Going to pull out my Z in 30. :p

^ The skyline cruise went though that on the way to the mountain... thankfully it was moving east when we were moving west - didn't last long.

TheGreatOne 09-05-2011 09:02 AM

I don't know if its because I had my windshield treated or just the design of the Z, but when driving highway through rain, I don't turn on my wipers...

I think that freaks out some people who I've past on the road lol, but ya, beads and flies right off, love that.

Yep, I use the Rain-X washer fluid in all my cars too. That helps too. The wipers last considerably longer as well.

And isn't It cool how no water gathers on the back windshield? THAT completely explains the engineers thoughts of no rear wiper. I'm so glad they didn't continue down that road. The back hatch looks soooo much sexier without it! :tup:
