Or you can buy snow tires for the beater, but you probably should have bought them for the Z in that case.

Liability insurance is cheap! If you live in the city, use public transportation. Why would you buy any car with bald tires? Save the Z from the harsh winter weather and roads. lol I'm just messing with you.

Honestly everyone's situation is different. My little civic isn't worth but a couple of thousand bucks. It's cheap to maintain, good on gas, and comfortable. Best of all it allows me to really enjoy the time I spend with my Z. I'm not worried about having to drive the Z in bad conditions.

I bought the same Blizzaks that AK got from TireRack and bought some wheels from them also. They were beyond awesome. I was buzzing by people in front wheel drive and AWD cars like it was nothing. Of course, I work in Kentucky and they pretty much can't even drive when it's dry, so it's all relative.

Tirerack has got the Blizzak LM25 (which is what I bought) for $140 each plus you get a $50 reward card with set of 4. They've got some other good prices right now too.

It only cost me $44 a month to insure my 01 Forester. It use to belong to my mother who purchased it new back in 01. Its got 180k on the clock and runs like a champ.

I drive mine just like I do in Summer. Really we only have two seasons here. Summer and Not-Summer.

What is this winter you speak of?

I plan to put on all-season tires on the stock wheels.

(That's what I did with the NSX, then I got refurbed wheels and just swapped wheels and tires myself.)

I have a daily beater that I take out when the weather is not too great...Keeps the Z looking new 24/7 and out of the crappy weather...:tup:
