Mine says that every morning [4:20 AM] when I'm off to work. It's been in the 30's the last few weeks. I think it's cute. It's trying to warn me.

Mine said Icy this morning for the first time since I have owned the car. It was 29 degrees outside. The catch is I am in Houston, Texas. It should NEVER be this freaking cold! I hope not to see a repeat of that tomorrow morning, but somehow I think I will I dont live in Texas for no reason...I HATE COLD WEATHER!

I know there is a vendor now selling HID kits for base models and I believe 5000-6500K bulb replacements, look him up on here guys....

Ha........Imagine that....29 degrees in Houston of all places Whats the world coming too?!?! My Z said the same thing this morning. Pretty neat but pointless. Doubt i'll see the "icy" sign again, unless the temp stays this low here. Im not a fan of constant cold weather but I do like the place I live to have seasons. What part of Houston do you live in miss Z girl?

goddamn icy thing keeps popping up on my guage and changing it from mph to temp. Very annoying since the temp is right around 36-38 today. In a 15 minute drive it did it to me 3 times.

I'm sorry to say, but last night's weather was nothing compared to what we're about to get tonight....the HARD freeze is tonight, Thursday night...and temperature is expect to be in the 20s tonight.....so brace yourself....me, on the other hand, I'm loving it...I'll be out on the town tonight until probably about 3 or 4am, so I'll let ya know if the reading changes to "FROST BITE"

hey, I'm at 290 and hwy6

No way....I commute to that part of town everyday. My Office is right on I 10 and highway 6 I live around the galleria area......New Castle to be exact. All that driving everyday can be a pain in the a** but I love driving my Z. My temp guage read 34 degrees to be exact this morning. Funny....I've never seen a silver Z around here before....you work around this area?

34 on my "icy gauge" and I live in the Houston Heights. Woo-Hoo But I paid no attention to it, there was no precip. It WAS cute, however.

A hard freeze in the 20's? HA

We finally got back into the 20's for a high yesterday after a nice bought of cold weather - highs in the low teens. I thought I would see some people out in shorts it felt so warm. We might get into the 30's this weekend though.
