I live in Miami so I dont have to worry about snow, just heavy rain during the summer since alot of roads dont drain well here locally. Not so much something that keeps me off the road but I just have to be mindfull when I see a puddle.

A different suspension setup can also get a few more pounds sitting towards the rear.

Thanks for the advice. I'm talking about 200-250 lbs. over the rear wheels. Can I get that kind of weight from moving the battery and changing the suspension?

I use a company vehicle in the winter months so the Z does not see salt or snow. In the warmer months such as 40deg+ and saltless roads she is out and I enjoy every minute of it. I could care less about the car seeing any rain. I installed my Swifts and it was so nice to have non corroded nasty bolts to deal with.

Not sunny, not driven. Chance of rain keeps it in the garage.

I drive the Z unless doing so is impossible (ie snow in GA)

Not exactly weather, but I don't take my Z out on drinking holidays like Cinco de Mayo, St. Patrick's Day or the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.
I figure some drunk a-hole will hit me or the car will look to tasty to the po-po and attract unwanted attention. I go with the 12 year old Ranger pickup on those days.

My DD so everything except snow. Probably will be stored for the winter, might get a beater for next winter or car pool with the wife

Its not as fun to drive in the rain though...feel like I can't drive it like I want to
