Wait... Algore told me that we are all going to die in a fiery inferno from global whining. Are you guys sure its snow and/or ice that you are seeing? I mean, why would the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize lie to me?

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.

It's ash. DUH!

Al Gore is a dumb b*tch. He cries about global warming then tours the f*cking world with his f*cking jet. What a f*cking moron.

I'm in Ames Iowa, we have about a half inch of ice on everything.

The driveway has 4" or so of thick ice/dense slush. I'm not driving anywhere and both my G35x and my wifes RX300 are AWD.

Learned my lesson the hard way back in Dec 2002. Got stuck in the parking lot with 6inches of snow.Now its a garage queen! Always have a 2nd car when you have a sports car.

So I was driving today when the snow started falling. The Z is not cool in snow; my usable power band today was 0-1500RPM and only from the second gear. Also breaking is horrible, when you break the car goes sideways. All that with new tires! Can someone explain why Z is so crappy in snow? BMW and other RWD drive cars are ok, but Z is not:-(. It was cool to get home and change the cars. 5-speed Integra that I got last Saturday with new tires is pleasure to drive in snow. God Bless Honda Powar!
