I'm 17 moving to new Hampshire for hockey and my dad is saying I can't take my 370 up there because the weather is to bad. I'm a good driver not like any other kids my age so thats not the problem. I need someone to help convince him that a z will do fine there.


Thanks, cole

I live in new hampshire and i'm sorry to say he is right....the weather here sucks in the winter and i wouldn't bring the 370z unless you have a 2nd daily driver, or you risk driving in salted roads which is HORRIBLE for your car, you'll get stuck in snow and its just not fun

NH sees real snow...the kind that can be on the roads for 2-3 months.

You want a fun little sedan/wagon with dedicated snow tires if you have to do serious driving up there. I'm a subaru fan for such a task.

While you can outfit the Z with snows, but they still are a wide tire and not the best when it comes to snow/ice traction. You want a skinnier tire on smaller rims for that.
