I haven't driven my Z since OCT. I hate winter.. I almost took the bike out yesterday afternoon for a little taste of speed, my JEEP or my Explorer just don't do it for me...

hellllllllllllll no.. not in the Z because of the salt/rocks, and not on the bike because of the rocks... i'd die.. oh.. and not in the Jeep or Explorer cause i'd probably die that way too... rolling or sliding off the road..

salt and rocks ...
your Z is a strong girl she can take abuse..
but then a good washing will do the trick afterwards...
matter fact im driving in PA with coilovers (big no no) on terrible roads and bad winter weather ... you shouldnt have anything to worry about

yes i too hate winter. When it snows, i jus leave it on the driveway with the car cover on it. It sucks!! But when its nice day out and no snow or salt on the ground, i like to take my Z and take it out for nice spin! I love it!

Man, Take that Z oUT and drive! I'm in Ny and we have plenty of rocks and salt, but we have that all year long.(along with huge pot holes, road debris, trash, trucks with $hit flying off the top) Just extra obstacles on the course. If the road is Dry and the weather nice, I'm taking the Z out. If it's raining or snowing or ice, its stays in the garage and I drive the 95 corolla! It's a waste to have a car and never drive it. Like theses guys who have 03 Zs with 4-5k miles on the odometer. what a waste.
