Is it really that snowy where you all live that you can't drive occasionally in the winter? I'm pretty far north up here and the roads are almost always clear.

Nick911sc 02-28-2012 01:29 PM

I worry more about the sand and salt that is dumped on the road rather than the actual snow... All the potholes... It's like dodging land mines...

This. Salt = no no.

Gauge 02-28-2012 02:06 PM

If you wash your car every weekend it should be ok ya? Also I guess it doesn't snow enough up here for salt to really be a problem. They've only salted the roads twice this entire winter up here.

alcheng 02-28-2012 02:10 PM

The problem is the weather forecast, it always say there's a chance of snowing. I try to bring out my car as much as I can when the road is clear, to fulfill my crave. LOL :icon17:

Bucketlist2012 02-28-2012 02:15 PM

Today , I showed my wife the new gas filler procedure on the 370Z...

I may never get to go "get gas"...

I will take it out on my Z/28...

Yep..Some of the balance I found too late, so now I just make up for it everyday by living it ...

My Bucket list is in full motion and memories crush Toys everytime...But I do like toys too. but the vacations last forever..

But my wife and her new Toy are too funny....She will run out of gas soon..Or fill it up herself..

Well this winter has been mild but considering you're 1.5 hours north of me you know the kind of winters we typically have where its a snow, slush, sand, salt mix for 4 months.

Even with washing weekly I dont trust it. What about areas where the wash doesn't reach? On my previous car I would wash it probably every 2 weeks including undercarriage spray and the bottom of that car was looking horrible after 8 winters.

i will check out your intro. :) i use to get caught up in a lot of 'meaningless' things if looked at from the big picture. these days i just do my best and knowing i did, i am happy and let life take its course.


this doesn't mean im willing to drive my Z in salt. :icon17: hahaha.

BigT 02-28-2012 02:55 PM

I actually drove mine to work today. My father asked if he could borrow my beater.

I was driving through my town yesterday since it was so nice out, and consequently because it was so nice out there also happened to be teenage bicyclers on the road.


Two kids rode by me while I was stopped at a light and the first one gave me this huge thumbs down. I just laughed it off because it was the first negative remark out 10 months of owning the car and it was obviously out of jealousy.

A half hour later I came out of a Royal Farms gas/convenience store to find the same tool on a bike, only now he was with his 15 friends (also on bikes of course). I stared the kid down hard as I walked to my car, not breaking eye contact the entire way to my door. He looked away then his friend who was with him earlier yelled, "I wanna see you roast 'em". I opened my car door and said, "I bet you do."

I've never pulled out of a place slower and less anti-climactic than that. They all stood and watched the whole time too.

(btw mods are blacked out fangs with tow-hook and flat black rays wheels)

Love it... I get jacked up every time I drive my Pro Touring Z/28...I have learned to just laugh...i can't race and please everyone...

Good job on the restraint....most can't hold back..

Gauge 02-28-2012 04:11 PM

kids... Should asked them for the 1+ grand to buy new tires >< I might have drove off fast if they wanted to see that but probably not fast enough to kill the tires. You know how kids are. They idolize :P

kenchan 02-28-2012 04:12 PM

iceagetlc- im a dad and so i would've just walked up to the kid and asked in a loud & clear voice but not yelling, 'why were your thumbing down at me? it's not nice to thumb down at people, you know better then that.' make him feel stupid. :)

What I really wanted to say deep down was "You know thumbs up is hitchhiking, thumbs down means you give rimjobs for nickels."

Late Feb through Mid April is Sand Storm season in El Paso. I lived in the area from Birth to 28. I have driven through a complete white out from major sand storms. I can't imagine what that would do to the soft paint on the Z though.
