The 'icy' warning is another feature of the Z that I appreciate. Here in Colorado we've had our share of snow/ice this winter, but traction on the road varies even with that. If it gets above freezing and the glazed-over ice starts to thaw, THAT can be extremely slick! With a powerful, RWD sportscar, it never hurts to have some additional warning in these type of conditions.

Also, having lived back east (Washington, DC area), I recognize how rapidly road conditions can change. The 'icy' warning must be great for those kind of conditions as well.

I dont get the pick either... but then again I almost never get any dirty jokes (assuming it is one) because it's just not in my nature to think that way.... Here's one I didnt get once:

A naked man is standing in front of an elephant and the elephant says "It's cute, but isnt it a little small?" I had to have that one explained to me.....


The ICY warning light turns on at 37 deg F.... for the above stated reason that slightly melted ice is ULTRA slick.

Not to mention that you can also get ice on bridges even when temp is above freezing!

It means that your turbonator will only function at half its potential power for the time being...

He's from Cali, hence why he never sees the word ICY!
