If you just washed it, how come we don't see the snow beading ?

I haven't seen mine since I stored it at a friend's heated garage last November, so I am living vicariously through other member's rides.

Even covered in snow, she still looks mighty fine . Just be careful in the snow...

Where I live in ct. There are a few hills and even the slightest I can't really go up in light snow. But I just leave a bag of salt in the back with a full tank of gas and that works alright even with BFg all seasons. But this will be the only winter my Z see's as next year my wife will have a new car.

Default Exaggerations

For most of the country, there may be between 5 snowfalls and maybe 25 snowfalls in winter. Usually, 1-2 days after it stos snowing, the roads are quite clear. I drive mine in winter, park it and take a cab or get a ride on the 5 or so days where the roads are a mess.

Otherwise, my car is just find and so are my summer tires on it. I just have to be careful. I just returned from a 120+ trip to St.Louis and at outside temps of around 20 degrees, I was cruising at 90 and took it up to 105 a stretch or two.

You can use it as a DD and enjoy the joy daily. Wash it more often, especially the under carriage at the local car wash.

Sure, the tire dealers and others could like you to use different tires all the time. If you live in the north/ northeast, you could put winter tires on it and drive.
