Downtown. West Loop

 

ohh nice, I lived down by UIC over the summer but now I'm a short drive up North, right before skokie. Send me a PM if you ever want to cruise one night. Gotta love those great restaurants in the West loop! and all the gorgeous girls downtown...

 

Yeh , and it's also " Global Warming Snow " . Thanks Al Gore .

 

exactly. but you know we are going to get a ton of these questions the closer it gets to winter, just like every year

 

<--- 88 GMC K Series with 8' Fisher plow blade FTW!

 

As soon as the snow starts, the Civic goes into hibernation.
The Grand Am is then upgraded to full duty.

 

huh?
hahahaha if you meant what I thought you meant!

 

has anybody driven in Rain?

 

I mean light rain

 

don't do it

 

Ok. I'm going to regret this, but I have to ask why?

 

Some of you guys act like the Z is a ferrari... its 30k NISSAN people. Mine has seen all weather including 3 sh!tty Cleveland winters. The tire makes the entire difference between driveable and undriveable in snow. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of 17" OEM wheels and snow tires... you will have zero problems except for very heavy snow (6+ inches on the ground where the Z's ground clearance comes into play). Sure we would probably all love to have another car, but it's more than capable like any other RWD.

 

here is a hint. if you have never driven in snow before, do not try to learn how with a RWD sports car.

 

Storing it for 4-5 months because you might have 5 snow days is a bigger sin.
IMHO, of course.

 

i got mine out of storage just to see what it could do and i stoped in snow ice mix to close the door and tried o go again and it would not move it just spun the tires so i said thats enough and my friend pushed me back in

 

I hear that the 2008-09 snow is a whole new formula... its snow 2.0... It's been upgraded to include rwd sports cars so we can all drive with summer tires. The snow will be warmer then snow 1.0 so warm weather performance tires will work exactly the way they do on dry roads in July. You gotta love progress.

 

Just drive backwards everywhere... Then its FWD with rear steering... lol

 

I was drinking Gatorade when I read this, and I laughed so hard and so suddenly that it came out my nose. Thank you very much.

 

I have a set of winter wheels with Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 tires and I drive my car year round, daily driver in southern PA. I have gotten through a couple inches of snow with these tires. You will be fine. Don't let people scare you.

 

+1 and the topic has been covered a THOUSAND TIMES. The only naysayers are people who have no experience driving in the snow but like to put spout off their opinion and the idiots who drive in the snow on summer tires.
