I'm surprised to see you driving the Z in that kinda of weather. I couldn't imagine a Z in snow. I know it's possible with winter tires but not worth it. Get yourself a beater haha :)

I agree, my Z will never see snow or salt. It's in storage while I drive my beaters

Add SPOILER before your IMG tag and /SPOILER after your /IMG tag. Piece of cake :tup: *don't forget the [] brackets around the tags*

Good ol Life Time! I see lots of crappy parkers each day at that place. Usually with bikes I see them parked on the sidewalks which they specifically say not to do.

I'd rather a bike park there than take up an actual spot for a car... and me not noticing until I've already started to pull into it. :shakes head:

Or piss in it. I can't imagine the smell ever coming out of the foam inside.

With the right tires, driving the Z in the snow is a blast! Salt washes off, the Z is not an exotic car by any stretch of the imagination.

Not worth the risk. I wouldn't want to be washing my car after every drive because of getting salt on the paint and underneath. We've had so much snow here in the Chicago area this winter. There's no way my Z could get around in that. Also its been icy too. It would turn into a mini-plow. I like being able to store my car in the winter and drive my big SUV in the winters. Its much safer that way.

I have no problem parking a bike across lines like that, so long as it's not in the path of others. Parking in a handicapped area like that is a no no. Would serve him right to have it ticketed/towed, or knocked over. I bet it's a novice rider too. That bike is at least 20 years old! You don't leave your helmet on the bike like that - not unless you want it stolen.

The typical 1-3 inch snow storms we get in MD make this doable for me. I would imagine your IL winters are a little bit more harsh and it really does make more sense in your case to have a beater car. Everyone's situation is unique.

Unacceptable. The access aisle serving an adjacent accessible parking space is not legal motorcycle parking. I assume this is the north gym on 620? If so, it is in Williamson county, and I can't write them a ticket. However, I just recently joined a program with Travis County called the Disabled Parking Enforcement program. I have been deputized by the Travis County Constable with the authority to issue warnings or tickets for three different violations involving accessible parking spaces, including for "Blocking", which is the violation you see here. A $500 fine, which is mandated by Congress, should certainly get their attention.
