It was not designed or intended to be driven in snow.

Can you go outside and check again? Because here in Florida, it’s in the low 70s and that alone proves that global whining is for real.

the white stuff you see falling from the sky is sulfur and ash. It's actually so hot outside that the concrete and asphalt has chemically reacted to become glass, so it feels slippery like ice.

I personally love the snow, it gives me time to do the larger projects on my Z.

This is the first year I have my Z... I don't have another car. And, it just started snowing this morning. I'm going to try and get it to my shop because if I'm going to store it, I need to do it there - not in my garage, so I can finish the audio system and do the lowering kit before the winter ends. Wish me luck in getting it to move seven miles.

Started snowing here last week and went down to 6F and -4F this morning, and don't find it any harder than any other car I've driven in the snow.. I am using Yokohama IceGrip tires. I was actually expecting it to be a lot worse. Oh yeah, FYI, the first day it snowed it wasn't bad, but I decided I will get some sandbags just incase, so that might help things.

Yea when I pick up my Z I'm going to my shop and asking them to get me some sick snow tires. My first mod!!!! LoL. Hope they don't cost much. Any ideas on how much I should be looking to spend?? I mean it only snowed an inch or so in long island. Which on a brand new Z shouldn't be too bad. But on the 2nd day of december its sticking?? I got a bad feeling this winter..

LOL. I have done that before. The morning was clear. When I got off work there was 4-inches of snow on the ground. Took the bus home.
