Default Park your Z!

Attention NE Z owners, If you see white stuff falling from the sky (not pollution)
and it starts to accumulate- Do not drive the Z! Seems there are always post about the Z not handling snow very well or post about sudden loss of control so I figured I would help out. Seriously I am jealous of the snow but maybe this will help out the noobs. Enjoy!

Don't let a little snow keep you from enjoying the 350Z.

my car ran fine in 7" of snow with dunlop winter sports tires and -1 tire sizes. Wasn't a joy to drive but since I sold my evo it is my only transportation for this winter.

It is predicted to be a blizzard here in CT within a few hours. Here is a pic of my Z the day before yesterday. I won't see it for at least a week as it is tucked away safe and cozy...darn.

Being in Hawaii, and...no snow...ever...does having all that snow accumulating on your Z damage it in any way?

Must be nice to see the seasons change...anyways.
