Default Winter sucks!

My first year with a 350Z and the first winter of storing the 350Z and it totally sucks! It's been a month and a half and I already can't take it anymore! I had to vent.

-I find SUV just fly pass me like I was standing still.
-I no longer have a smile on my face while driving.
-I am virtually invisible to other people in my winter beater.
-I no longer find excuses to go on errands so I can drive.
-I find myself daydreaming at work about the pass summer.
-I cross of each day on the calander until Spring comes.
-I make reving and gear shifting noises in my winter beater.
-I play Initial D music while driving and pretend I'm a sleeper jetta.

The only advantage I can see is that I save on gas Went from a $350 gas bill to a $80 gas bill a month.

This thread does not pertain to those of you in the south were winter is just cooler then usual so please don't come and glout, my poor heart can't take it. Plus I can't move south, all my loved ones are here.

This thread also does not pertain to people who will drive their 350Z in the harsh winter as well. Since nothing you can say will make me even think about taking a scraper to my car and scraping ice or snow from the body. I would get sick if the floor of the Z get caked on with salt like my winter beater does, there is no way of avoiding getting salt and slush in your car no matter what I do. So it's not an option for me.

You can have the heart of a Z if you buy one of these for the winter.



They're getting cheaper all the time. BTW - Not for sale .... Love the seat heaters!
