Here in Iowa I follow a simple plan. I store my Z for the winter in my garage. The main reason is to keep all the salt and sand off of it. I knew that I would not be driving it in winter when I bought the car. By not driving it in the winter, it keeps the car nice and clean and I don't have to buy winter tires.

For real! At first I thought NO NO NO CSC is going. Then I realized it's fine again once the car gets warm. :tup:

Maybe it all the coolers or the supercharger but my car always acts crazy until it warms up and I live in south Florida. It was in the upper 30s yesterday morning and it had me convinced the transmission was messed up until it got warm.

my Z is my dd, i live 20 min from you and no issues here. just let it warm up, its not a ferrari

By never driving it, it will look better forever and you can grow old getting pleasure looking at it. I would figure that, in winter, I have about 15 days when it actually snows. I leave the car garaged those days and a day later, when the roads are clear, I drive it. I bought the car to enjoy driving in it and I'd be damned if I will park it for an entire winter.

I don't buy winter tires but may do so because I hate driving some beater car.
