Sure. I'd rather keep my Z clean and summer only.
People that worry about these things tend to have cars that live nice long lives. People that don't worry about them...well, I make sure to never buy cars from them.

My subaru has gotten covered in salt, and has almost as many miles as the Z and it's spotless. Subaru actually put some decent rust protection underneath the car, whereas Nissan put almost none. Of course, I can't blame them. There's not a whole lot of reason to rust-proof the heck out of a summer car.

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.

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.

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...
