Tips for getting caught in the snow with your Z

Jessobear · 12-24-2010, 05:57 PM

Drive very slow and cautiously. Try to use the most heavily trafficked roads because they will typically have the least snow on them and will often be salted. Basically never use 1st gear. Get it home ASAP and park the car.

The safest option would be to get a taxi and then pick up the car when the roads are clear.
