I drive my 2000 Civic Ex Coupe

And keep the Z in the Garage and start it every week to let it run and warm up to operating temp then back it up and pull it foward and park it.

Yes, because in Australia, Middle East (and some other continents) 14" AKEBONO brakes are offered with 18" OEM rims. They clear the bigger brake. :tup:

Since it is always hot and steamy in South Florida I use the same tires/car all year round.

a. Use my dads infiniti.

b. Use public transportation.

I tried driving the Z on snow and got totally stuck on snow :shakes head:

I'm in Houston, TX...we don't have a winter...and we only have year round cars and year round tires...hehehehe...well, on second thought, I guess summer would be the season that exotic cars can't be driven due to that fact that those high dollar pieces do not have a radiator to cool the car down...and when it hits 100 degrees in rush hour traffic---

1994 Regal GS Coupe in Purple Pearl. :p

It's actually an awesome little "beater" for the varying Chicago-land weather...except people keep hitting it when it's parked and don't leave any notes :mad:
