JMO but i much rather get a beater for the winter.. reason is that i dont trust the people around me, im not worried about the z touching the snow and all that.. but other people around is what i dont like.
i much rather some run into me in a beater than someone run into me in the z. some people just cant drive on snow

Get a beater, the winter is brutal on the Z. The car is really low so your going to be running over big ice chunks and stuff getting into driveways or parking lots. Your interior gets salt in it and mud/dirt from your shoes. Not to mention the paint will get all messed up from salt/rock chips. I dunno i guess snow tires are good but if u can afford it, i would get a beater.

spun off the highway and I am now getting a new bumper put on after slamming it into the runoff on the side of the highway. I bought a beater for 800$ to drive during the winter.
put it away.

1999 Ford Escort. The Z is in the garage with a cover and a bottle of "Sta-Bil" in the tank. ETA for driving: MAR/06, they don't call it "March Madness" for nothing.
