....and wow did it royally suck. Yes i know this car is not meant for any snow, but i just got the car two days ago and nice weather. This morning/afternoon was perfect, then when i left work at 6p and got almost home i hit a stretch of road that was unsalted/unplowed. i spun out twice. Ill pay more attention to the news tonight to see if chicago is getting more snow. Guess it'll be the cavalier tomorrow.

 

it was 87 today

haha sorry didnt mean to be an a$$.. I just got back from chicago 3 days ago for a wedding.. FREEZING!!!

 

I made the mistake of taking the Z today. On the way to the office, I heard a weatherman on the radio predicting a chance of flurries today and tomorrow. It had me nervously watching the sky all afternoon. The Z is snug in the garage now, and I guess I'll take the VW 4Motion tomorrow, just in case.

 

It's snowing here in Knoxville, a somewhat rare occasion.

 

Definatly, i was just like you watching and hoping the snow wasnt going to stick, but hey, it coulda been worse.

 

lol must be bad, it isn't even worth it for you to purchase snow tires anymore. just be careful

 

I have driven a 280zx from 1982 to 1994 and a 300zx from 1994 to 2003, both as my daily drivers, all year long up here in Edmonton, Alberta. This included a number of winter highway trips, including ski-trips into the rockies.

These cars are definitely tricky in the snow, but winter tires on all fours make all the difference in the world - that together with a very steady foot on the gas and clutch.

That being said my 2005 350ZR is in safe heated storage for this winter as I drive my Murano for the winter - and yes I have put winter tires on the Murano. So, if you are going to drive in winter conditions I would highly recommend winter tires on all 4.
