Well as far as I could tell, they actually didn't end up salting the roads. I was very surprised. I'll still probably make sure to wash underneath though.

I agree with what GSRX50 said. I just don't drive the Z in bad weather. I have seen the cars driven year round here in KC/KS. They might have nice paint and shine but are being rusted out from the underside. Drive a beater in the winter if at all possible.

Toy cars are usually stupid fun in the snow.

yah, have fun out there. lol

i hate seeing my G with stock wheels and snow tires + all the grime. no meaning for me owning a toy car if i had to do that.

if i could only have one car it would not be a Z and would be more of a regular folk car... i donno, probably something like an audi avant (wagon). and would play with RC cars instead.

Still, it's best to remove it as soon as possible. There is certainly no harm in removing it as soon as you can.
