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.

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.

Yeah we've been hammered by snow this year. It's been an absolutely crazy winter between the heavy snowfall and the extreme cold. It seems like every week we are getting more and more snow, sometimes just a couple inches and other times like this coming weekend we are going to get 6+ inches. Instead of paying high insurance costs to only get minimal use in the winter here plus the wear from the salt I always just put it in storage. Sucks because I really want to drive but its better then worrying about potential driving issues that are here
