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.

I think I missed my kodak moment on Sunday when it was -20+ on the display. Hopefully I won't have another chance to take that picture!

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.

Agreed (knocks on wood). I just picked mine up last October and it's served me well thus far. Is it common for the back end to get loose like that? It's happened to me before while driving through a round-about in the snow. Maybe it's just my tires.

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??
