I know the best way is not to drive, but if you HAD to, what would be the best way?

See the Thread on Chains...

After that..

I Turn the TCS on when on a flat surface or Going Down Hill.

Going Up Hill, You must turn the TCS off. I got stuck half way up a snowy hill when the engin completly cut off adding any fuel. Only way up was TCS off and Low 1st Gear at about 2mph

Slow is the name of the Game. Be Very Carefull. I almost Wrecked Twice today in my Roadster.

Thats exactly what I was going to say. Dont drive on/in it.

Slow and smooth is the way to go....keep it in a low gear, don't make any stupid sudden moves, and you'll be fine. Another important thing is following distance, as you've gotta leave a LOT more space between you and the car in front of you (in case the brakes don't grab quite like you expect them to).

it's not that bad out, most of the roads are already clear. Drive er slow.

I got caught in the snow today, it was only an inch, but the Z doesn't take well to it at all. My advice slow and steady.

MovingViolation

I tried driving out of my underground parking when there was snow on the ground just for fun and I couldn't make it up the exit ramp. So I had to drive backwards back into the garage. If you do get caught in snow with stock tires expect your drive home to be at a slow crawl because almost anything will make the car slide.

My Z won't even drive on snow. The wheels just spin... and spin... and spin. The main roads are usually clear, but I can't even get out of my neighborhood without someone pushing.

kid notorious

amen to driving slllooooowwwww as hell. mine is a base model, no TCS with stock tires...doesn't get much harder than that...sand bags help, pretty much what everyone said already.

Racer Z

I see a couple of folks from NJ and Philly up in here....

Kid Notorious....I have the Base Z as well, and had a job interview yesterday in Philly area yesterday....Interview was at 12:30pm....finished at 3:00 pm (It started snowing around 1:30 pm or so)....Pharmaceutical company was in an industrial park parked on a downslope.....Helluva time going UP the slope.....tires spinning like mad....Just kept her in 1st gear and persistently inched my way up and over the hill.....35-40 MPH or slower on the PA Turnpike ALL THE WAY HOME!

I better get this damn job offer after having endured THAT yesterday!!

Of course, If I do.....I'll get a FWD company car like a Sebring or Grand Prix, so the Z can stay parked when it snows.

I'm from NYC and we got a little snow last night. This was the first and last time the Z will ever see snow. The back was swing too much for my liking.

There were three Z's stuck on 395 in DC yesterday afternoon within 300 yards of each other. The key, as stated by SQ40 is to turn the TCS off.

I have blizzaks on my base, they didn't help much last night. I was hoping for more. Oh well!
