In Montreal, not even an option, we easily get 5 or 6" of snow whenever. Although I heard about some local Z owner driving his Z after a 30cm snow storm. Crazy

I think if I lived in some of those states where the snowfall is laughable to us Canucks, I would drive on those cold but dry street days.

I picked up a 2000 Subaru Forester S 4wd, manual for this year. Can't wait to have some winter fun.

The only thing about storage thats depressing is knowing your Z is just sitting there. But makes spring that much better :)

If only I could.

However, I intend to make the Z my DD and have a garage queen of a higher caliber.

It may be several years, but that's my goal! :tup:

how about you get a gf first? :stirthepot: :icon17: :p ;)

I already informed the boss that if the snow's too deep, I won't be in. Next winter might be a different story, might have a winter car to drive. We'll see.

with the right tires like your blizzaks, it's definitely do-able. i ran LM60's on my G and even pretty deep snow 4-5" i was able to get to work no issue. my car is lowered so can't go much deeper as the belly bottomed out. :icon17:

it's not about the functionality for me, rather just more about keeping my hobby car prestine. :tup: the amount of corrosion i found the following spring was eye opening for me. even so, that was only surface rust and a few chipped paint which i touched up using rust reformer. your car will be fine.

that said, my cars will be hibernated. :D

I'm working on that simultaneously.

It's just easier to find that perfect car, ya know?:rofl2:

Has anyone put snow tires on 19 sport rims? You can buy LM-32 or LM-60 in that size just wondering how it would be?

It wouldn't be ideal. Winter tires/wheels should be more narrow to help dig down into the snow.
