Actually, I like putting the car away for the winter. Every Spring, I get excited to bring the Z back out and pretend it's a new car.

 

There are so many reasons to put the Z away in the winter in certain parts of the country. Summer in Wyoming makes for some great driving - long, twisty roads, great scenery and little traffic. Winter is another story - sub zero temps., deep snow, wind and white-out conditions, residual gravel/sand on the road even when the snow is gone, idiot drivers, etc., etc. So, of course, My Z is in the garage waiting for spring. My Nissan Titan now gets my attention - gotta love 4 wheel drive in the winter.

 

i liv in L.A. so no snow here, it might suck putting ur z away for the winter, but at least its resting on the miles,

 

North Texas (DFW area) - I do not park the Z for the winter - but do get very frustrated by keeping the top up for a few months (mostly)....

 

still driving my Z for the winter...no big deal

 

I feel for u guys that have to put away your Z's. I really do. But you guys get to feel the horsepower all over again like you did when you first got it all over again! Z you in the spring! Little Z joke, not funny? At least I tried. Lol.

 

It's kind of a conundrum really. The car is a BEAST on cold days with the denser charge of air. However, when that first snow or ice hits the road, it gets dangerous quickly.

This is my favorite time of year to drive for speed an acceleration. But when things get slick, it's hello '95 Wrangler and 4-wheel drive!

 

I put my z away last night it rained for 30 minutes...STRAIGHT! This sub-70 degree weather is killing me...

 

You store it ALL winter???!!

I only don't drive mine when it snows, rains, or the roads are bad.... but that's just a minority of the winter.

??

 

Damn, that is a beater.

My daily driver is a '00 Maxima SE.... it's a nice car. Not as fun as the Z, obviously, but the Maxima is a fun car. The engine, VQ30DE, has 222 hp.

 

I'm right with ya on that. I live in the fort worth area, so no snow. BUT, come this February, the ice will freeze the roads and I'm not taking the Z out in that again after last year. SO, I'll buy a shitty beater and finally live my life on the wild side!! for a few months. j/k lol but yeah shitty beater here i come!!!!!

 

get one of those old 4 cyl toyota pickups. the best investment and most fun you'll ever have. or a old 4.3 v6 chevy 1500, so much fun, and super reliable.

 

hmmm...........put the Z in the garage 2 months ago. Got the g35x out, and if snows to much get the 2008 Jeep liberty out.

 

when I saw the title I thought this was another stupid thread about some guy who has to sell their car.

Tim hates whiners

 

vdc solved that problem for me. w/o it winters would be more difficult.

 

If anyone needs a winter car in the Northeast, pm me

 

Just put my Z away for the winter here in N. Virginia. It was 50 degrees today, so I washed and dried her, filled up the tank with some Shell V-Power, revved her out for the last time, and then parked her in my friend's garage until warmer days As I walked away for the last time and looked back, she looked soooooo good all clean and cozy Until the Spring time, it's a '94 Jeep Cherokee Sport for me!

 

I just got a new DD. A 2000 Jeep Cherokee and it's a whole different type of fun. So, I'm actually enjoying driving it. At least until I get a ticket for crawling up giant dirt mounds at construction sites and the wife puts the clamp down on me, . Can't wait to start modding it though which is hurting my Z budget, haha.

 

Damn you Cali people!!!

Here in NJ its cold, but still drivable weather for now. I've got an 86 Mazda b2000 pick up with a broken chassis that i welded, so i do feel your pain. I just tell the dates like hey if you'd rather walk...

 

Yeah it just sits there. All carbon fibery, looking at me when I drive away. Kind of sad really.
