negative 5 degreeeeees

On my way home from work i took this picture about 10:15PM tonight in Charleston,WV...man the car runs like a freakin monster!!!i just wanna get on it.But i CAN NOT get my damn 295-35-18 Toyo Proxe TR1-s to get warmed up..on freeway..i can downshift to 3rd and it itl spin...ill forget about traction control..and then car goes into retard mode!
but 1 note...car did loose about 30 miles to a tank...maybe to cold??takes forever for oil pressure to build...
Damn i hate this cold weather! I just moved from Daytona up to Chicago, but luckily only until May. The past couple days it's gotten around -5 and then with the wind chill around -30.
This is also my first winter with my Z..i had it in snow the other day...ABS sucks *****....but the trac works pretty good..it straightens you out pretty we'll also tho..but like i said..i try to do a smalll burn out before i do anything when its this cold out to get the tires a little warm and clean the snow or ice off...
but dropped....ENJOY!haha
I noticed a couple of guys from Indy in this thread and I definitely don't envy you if you're driving your Z in this weather today. I just went out for lunch and got sideways (not intentionally) turning left, going about 5 mph through an intersection....in my Camry. The Z is sitting pretty and clean in my garage.
I have a camry for my winter beater. Such a reliable car

Yeah cause is a front wheel drive plus what year is ur camry? Mine is 1993. But I don't think it makes a difference.

I was in Jersey this weekend and I guess the wind chill was zero.
Went to the car show in Philly and I could barely stand the walk from the car to the convention center. How do you ppl do it??
