Official Snow thread: Z in the snow (pics inside)
 
Lets see yours! Here's how my Z sits outside. I am just simply staying home because it's too crazy out. It's still snowing pretty bad. I should be able to drive the Z fine with my tires but I'm just scared of other drivers (oh and salt :shakes head:). I may drive around later just to see how the tires hold up. Woke up really late. Played some Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time in the morning . lol I know it's an old game but good game to play when you're bored. It's also one of my fav game of all time. Now watching Hangover: Unrated Version on blu ray ;)

Here are some pictures.. Lets see some of yours

I open the door and the glass didn't even drop down little like usual since it's stuck by snow :shakes head:

not using the garage for the Z??


also, i saw in the papers about cleaning sticks that are made in microfiber.. so it doesnt scratch the paint while cleaning like a brush would.

Garage is a Media room. It's no longer for cars :(.

That's where all the video games are. I have rockband, DJ hero, ps3, xbox, gamecube setup with a 1080p tv and home theater. :D. Also a George Foreman grill and a freezer. Food go straight from freezer to grill! :icon17: I want to buy Super Nintendo and wii in future to complete my setup.

The salt makes me cringe too. I've been reluctant to take my car out unless I have no choice...not because of snow but that damn salt.

nogoodname 12-19-2009 04:16 PM

just noticed the guy standing on his suv to clean the windshield...lol

How did the Blizzaks handle? I'm tempted to check it but I want to hear from your first. My current scenario would be around 5 inches of snow. Good to go? I took these pictures few hours ago. Road are completely under snow now.

So far I've only tackled an inch or so but there was a layer of ice below. I had a bit of wheel spin from a stop if I wasn't ginger with the throttle. Cornering and braking were absolutely solid though. Antilocks didn't even come on during an aggressive stop in the snow. The seatbelt just grabbed me! I think in a true snow layer without any ice below, these tires will be bulletproof. Driving with reasonable cautiousness, this is a very safe winter setup.

Go have some fun :)

That's good news! We need more folks giving winter tire feedback.

molamann 12-19-2009 06:30 PM

I believe my Z was one of the first Z to get covered in snow. Bought mine back in January 10 2009 and it snowed a couple days after purchase, in Oklahoma City of all ******* places.

MightyBobo 12-20-2009 01:08 AM

Here's my Z....71. I'd say we got almost 2' or so here...childs play for the Z71 :) Oh how much of a **** I felt riding all the douche bags asses who were going 10 MPH and refused to get out of my way...

AK, I noticed you said your window froze and did not come down when you opened your door :eek:. Is the paint ok? I would think it would rub pretty bad, especially when closing the door.

SilverBullet 12-20-2009 01:53 AM

I miss snow. Looks good.

SOLISIMO 12-20-2009 04:32 AM

Yeah it's coming down pretty good still but starting to taper off. Were getting what NJ, MD and VA got yesterday. For once the North side of the state is getting less snow than the rest, yay!

I think this picture is fantastic. Silver looks great in those conditions!

areyouin729 12-20-2009 12:15 PM

I would say we got about 16-18 inches here in the Philly area, this is about 5pm, it probably dumped another 5 inches after this

SilverBullet 12-20-2009 12:19 PM

That snow is coming down hard. I wish that there was snow here, but its 70.
