I cry myself to sleep every night during the winter. I've even been known to go out and sit in the Z just help with the separation anxiety.

Hahahaaaa... when I had my FD in NY, I garaged it from nov to april. Occasionally pulling it out in the winter every now and again for the occasional romp. I would just buy a lot of shyt for it in the winter and chill all summer.
Besides, I was single in NY and the best way to get the hott ladies is to ride the trains and buses. So I usually occupied my mind with rackin up on numbers n gettin azz all winter. Then roll out pimpin' in the summer with the FD . Basically now going out farther with the car in the summer to get more azz. Lol

I miss bein single in nyc.

Its hard but when you see mustangs or the like in the ditch because they dont drive a winter car it gives me the strength to carry on lol




Usually its November through the end of March for me that I cant drive mine.

Only two days and I am going bat **** crazy!

Never had to store cars here... guess we're lucky in that aspect...

I used to have an '07 350Z Roadster that I kept covered in the garage from December through March because of the snowy winters here in CT. I also had a Toyota Matrix that I drove as a daily driver. After 3 years owning the Z, I couldn't justify paying for a car that sat in the garage for 3 months out of the year so I traded it for a MazdaSpeed3 and sold the Matrix. The MS3 is no Z and I craved to have a Z again and kicked myself for getting rid of it. I ended up trading my MS3 for the '09 370Z after having the MS3 for just 4 months. It was the best decision I ever made! I love my 370Z, drive it as my DD, and don't plan on parting with it until the wheels fall off! As far as winter goes, it is a concern because it's an hour drive to work and the winter can get pretty bad in CT but I'll work around it. I'll most likely get snow tires but I figure if the weather is too bad, I'll just take the day off. Bottom line....drive it and enjoy it. Life is too short! Who knows what tomorrow will bring!

There's more to life than a Z..........for some of us anyway. Mine is stored for 5-6 months/yr. Whatever.

It's a car, I drive it year round. I even keep the stock tires on it when it snows, proper driving technique helps.
