just rock-push the car forward holding the a-pillar. no paint to scratch...

and rock-push b-pillar for backwards. btw, place a chock forward/aft of the tire so that you dont push too hard and end up in the wall. lol

Man, that is butt cold. NO THANKS. I would be hibernating like a bear. See ya in the spring.

I didn't read any of the other replies but IMHO it drives better than most rear wheel drive cars as long as you have 4 snow tires

Dang it! I was going to call you out on the Celsius thing, but -40 is the breakover point where the two are the same. Yikes. That's frickin' cold.

That was the coldest day I have ever lived through!!!!
The next day was -15°C and felt like spring was here

So much for winter this year lol.
Is everyone still driving their Z?

Snow tires, the lsd, and traction control make it pretty capable in winter conditions. A lot of people who feel uncomfortable driving in snow think they have a car issue but often a dedicated set of winter tires is what they really need.

I've come to the conclusion that the biggest issue with driving in the snow is ground clearance. I've had a set of snow tires on since November and I haven't had any traction problems. Anything more than 4 inches of snow and you risk turning the car into a snow plow. Especially if you have the sport package front spoiler.

between mid-jan til now i've seen 3 seperate 370's (red, blue, white) and a handful of 350's... i just shake my head since my OCD'ness is like CLEAN THE FK'IN CAR but i know it's impractical.

brave souls... especially in the snow! lol
