anyone here DRIVE there Z in WINTER?

Nope...I dread storage in 2 months

I know one or tow local guys who drive their Z in the winter (more power to them) and Montreal winters are WAY WORSE than a Toronto winter...but personally RWD + snow/ice = bad scene

I would maybe consider one of those extremely cold but dry days in winter...but why let salt get it

Since I visit Montreal every year for the Grand Prix, I can see why you wouldn't drive your Z in the winter...way too many hills. Especially with a stick. How you would ever get going with a little snow on the road I have no clue. I've been driving sticks for over 20 years and I don't think I could do it...even with the hand brake trick. No such problem in mostly flat Chicago.

Gosh. Am I the only one old enough to remember when all cars were rear-wheel drive?

Really....that said, I haven't owned a front drive for over 20 years.
