370Z Winter Driving

OldGuy · 03-12-2011, 08:37 AM

In PA, the winter salt and cinders are so destructive on sports cars like the Z. Also, I don't want to expose my Z to the winter driving hazard of other less careful drivers sliding into it on these icy winter roads. It happens all the time here. Consider buying an affordable, older second car for the 3 or 4 winter months and keep your beautiful Z safe to enjoy during the other 8 or 9 months.

You have evoked the evil groundhog spirit red6spd. Now we will have a late March blizzard here in the northeast.

That fat rodent reads this forum. And he's a vindictive bastard.

Thanks a lot.

I agree that having a second, winter beater is the best way to go. That was my original plan, however living in a condo and having only one parking spot makes it difficult.

The groundhog is only right 40% of the time. Given that random chance would have him pegged at 50%, someone must be influencing his decisions.

Well, there is a lot of drinking in that part of PA...
