what do you drive in the winter

I drive my Z year round, but not when there's snow or salt on the ground. If there is, than I take my husband's 02 F-150 4x4.

They're around. I got mine from an evo/dsm shop. They are currently throwing a 6 bolt motor in it. Got the car for 3k with the new "used" motor. Should be a nice little toy.

Craigslist and dsmtuners .com has them. You have to be weary with them tho for reasons I'm sure you know about. I think I found a solid one though!

Mine is a 97 TJ Sahara. Black metallic paint (fresh), 33" tires, black wheels, full custom interior colors, and Rock bumpers. I love it! I was a Jeep guy long before I was a Z guy. You can love two mistresses though....but it's not cheap.

Yea I had a forest green 97 Sport with 33s, PIAA fog lights, YAKIMA racks, detachable links, i loved the thing and miss it, im going to pick one up soon. Its tough to find them in really good shape though, especially the 97's.

2001 Infinity QX4 at the moment. Looking to upgrade to the 2007 Infinity FX45 within weeks. Working out the details just today.
The Nismo 370 stays in the garage during rain and snow.

The Z has been recently been designated for nice weather days only. I purchased my own little SUV. Gets just as many looks as the Z, just all for the wrong reason...oh well at least I know the Z is back in the garage all clean.
