I ended up making it to work and back, but the Z is parked in front of my neighbors; I couldn't get her up the slight slope of my street and into my driveway

So the moral of the story is, DON'T TAKE YOUR 'Z' OUT IF THERE IS ANY ICE ON THE ROAD.

i was thinkin of takeing her to work.. less ice left.... but now..... uhm... ouch ... least u made it home alright

It's melting a little on my road and I managed to get it pulled up to my driveway. I didn't pull it in the driveway as I'm afraid it'll get stuck again. I'm gonna venture out for lunch and hopefully can get her cleaned off.

man.. glad to here you and her are both alright... I try to never drive in weather but had to back in december and this thing with the summer tires doesn't want to do anything in the snow or ice... thats a scary feeling... nice avatar now though

One of the tire threads on the forum has a video that shows just how suck the summer tires are on ice. They used a Maserati as the mule, it was very informative. In short, summer tires are extremely dangerous on ice.

Since the TSB is out lets lock her up OP.

I will PM KDO about my post so page one can be updated and this thread can rest in peace.

I also have a stuck hatch problem. I gotta push the button and lift at the same time for it to open. I think that's due to the Nismo S-Tune wing, never had a problem before the wing tho, but it's a major pain in the AZZ

Ok man, working my ass off though. This "be thankful you have a job" shit only goes so far, when you are doing the work of two people

I want to tell my boss "you'd better be thankful you have ME, or your ass would be in deep shit right now"
