Agree.

I drive 52 miles one way to work. I have been doing it for over 12 years. I got to the point that I was tired of the commute. I finally said the heck with it and got the car I always wanted. I look forward to getting in my Nismo to go home. I however do not have to deal with road salt, etc. No way I would drive her up north in the winter. I would do like other folks and have a beater car for that.

typically i just do what i want then say sorry.

it's easier to ask for forgivness than permission. :tiphat:

Come again?

I'm going to move up north and drive the Z in the winter. Here are my proposed mods:

To OP, I am fortunate to live in an area where the winters aren't too bad, and the few times it snows, the snow plows don't pile snow ridiculously. Additionally, they don't seem to use salt here, some type of chemical, and not very frequently. That being said, I grew up just outside of St. Louis, MO, and if I couldn't afford a second car to garage a car like this in the winter, I'd have never bought it. Salt, deep plowed snow along roadways/driveway entrances, insane drivers would be the death knell for any sports car in the winter. So it is actually a location issue. I fully get the "I bought it to drive it", as that is why I buy cars.

All that being said, I've made it through many winters here with a GT mustang (06 then 2011 5.0), but I am a VERY defensive driver. I already know I will have to replace the summer tires with all-season (Continental DWS as I had on the mustangs) as soon as the first threat of snow/icy conditions is forecast. Heck, the first week I was driving this home from work, back end broke loose on the highway as I was accelerating from an entrance ramp to 70 mph in the rain. Fortunately I learned long ago to "feel" the car and when it slips, let up on the gas and all will be well (rain or snow...doesn't always work on ice lol).

What matters the most to me is understanding the vehicle dynamics of the car.
2014 here with 33k miles.

It's an analogy.

Because every loser driver will try to rear-end my car each time a few flakes of snow fall, so it's like a free for all to run into my nice car.

i want to keep the miles low on my car so when i sell it in a couple years i can get more money out of it. plus i do about 25-30k miles a year... but it seems ckim64 has me beat lol

there you go :tup:
