Default The only way to drive your z in the snow



Wow that was a bad morning. My poor car was stuck on the side of north ocean till i was able to get my truck there to get it out. Hey was anyone here with a g35 stuck on the northbound side on the overpass there was a silverstone coupe up the road alittle. Just thought i would put this up for everyones amusement.

Yea.....I normally dont drive her in the snow/rain but i spunn a bearing on my jeep and haven't gotten around to pulling the motor. And plus i had a party to go to that night and i didnt know it was going to snow so you can imagine my glee the next morning when i woke up to see ice and snow everywhere.

That cool. I didn't need to go anywhere just shoveling the driveway and wanted to test out the Z in the snow. I would never try to drive it in real snow on the road.

Members have suggested a dozen solutions for the 350Z and snow, but never a flatbed truck. Thanks for the cool photo.

I'm sure you would have faired better if you had the proper tires. There have been quite a few Z owners with snow tires that havent had any problems driving in the winter. You might want to invest in atleast a set of all-seasons just in case your other vehicle is having problems.

nope its stock heigh theres a 2 inch lip on the side of the truck so it makes it look lower. Now if nissan could only make my z as reliable as my truck i would be so happy 90,000 miles and 10yrs and never even had to change a belt
