I just pray you still don't have the stock RE40's on your car - I got caught in a snow/ice storm the first year I had my roadster, and it was total terror with those stock P.O.S. tires.
The Z may not an SUV, but it has NO chance in a freeze on stock rubber.

Tomorow im taking the side skirts off and the rear lip till summer roles around. As for the front its going to stay on i figure i can make a few bucks plowing the roads for everyone.

Here in KC, we got the same storm a day earlier.
I haven't driven my Z for a week. Last year I didn't even drive it in the month of February.
You need a winter beater. I never, ever drive in weather; rain or snow. The only time my baby has been driven in rain was when I was on vacation and I got caught.
My baby has been sitting warm and dry inside all week.
Meanwhile, my daily driver is a mess.
