Nissan snow plow

Saw this driving through Purdue campus this week. I have snow tires, but won't bring the Z out in this stuff.

I don't see the problem. Some people enjoy their cars year 'round.

they still rust.

one snow season was equivalent to about 3yrs in wear on a non-snow hibernated car.

Why would you drive a 100k+ car in the snow? You will be fine but its those morons that cant drive in it with their winter beaters that will hit you.

This is why you don't drive your precious in the snow. There is no enjoying year round driving under real world conditions.

Maybe because i don't keep my cars that long since I buy them new but I have always driven them all year round. The moment the temp goes above 32 deg i head to the carwash and even if I don't wash it i rinse the under carriage and keep the salt off until the next storm. Right now i'm too lazy to take a picture that would make you guys hate me for having the dirtiest Z on the planet.
On another note I have snow tires and love driving it on the snow, funny how you see 4 wheel drive SUV's on the side of the road stuck (CRV's specially)

Well fortunately for me I can drive all year with minimal issues. As far as the dirtiest Z I could give you a run for your money with the 38 degree rainy days that we have had here lately. Take a pic and start a new thread then call it the nastiest Z.
Im sure it would be a hit!
