Life of a Daily Driven Z in Crap Roads And **** Ton of Snow

your Z hates you Minsu

I *could* drive the Z in the winter, but my Z sits in an unheated garage at my apartment complex. Even if I did drive it, I would need to religiously wash it, and I only wash things that are not sitting out in freezing temps over night.

This winter would not be good. Here in Iowa we've pretty much had ice and snow on the roads more days than not, and on off days, it's terribly cold or messy. I've only had the Z out once this winter on a Sunday in early January where we had just the right conditions to safely drive it.

Otherwise, way too bad of roads around here this season. (Maybe only 3-4 days where the raw snowfall was too much...)

Seeing the rust on my winter driver reminds me why I need to wait it out for spring. Just a reality for people living in locations with a real winter.

The potholes are reason enough not to drive the Z right now. Farkin' no-man's land out there.
