The only difference between you and people who store their Z is that they have garages to park in. If you don't care about the Z, then why aren't you driving it in the winter rain and snow?

 

at the time my mac tools guy was going out of biz, and he had it on the truck at the time for $300...Since i had to put the pantera in the garage i bought it for the Z. I do get at the shop though them magazines that sell car tents, if i find one laying around today i'll inform you on the name and if they have a sit to go to.

 

I'm sure you may try and argue with me here, however puting your car up on stands like that is incredibly hard on the suspension. Tires do not flat spot anymore and haven't for 15 years fyi.. I left a winter beater for a year (12 monts) on flat tires sitting in the driveway. I pumped the tires up drove it, they were lumpy at first but after a few days were perfectly fine. I wouldn't let the tires in my Z go flat, but that just an example of how resilient new radial tires are to flat spotting.

The drooping of your wheels puts enormous pressure on the bushings in your control arms, end links and other components are are being pulled down by the weight of the suspension and wheel. That is a completely un-natural position for the suspension to be in and is not designed to be hung like that.

If you must have it off the ground for whatever reason, pull the wheels off and put the jack stands under each control arm so the suspension isn't drooped like that. Replacing all the bushings in the suspension is more expensive than your tires are so even with flat spots you will be better off.

Putting your car on jack stands and flat spotting tires is an old wives tale much like having to start the car every few weeks so your "seals" don't dry out lol...

 

Turbo Z + Snow = Good Times!
I drive mine year round and all I do is swap out my tire sets for winter/snow.
My stock 17" wheels JUST clear my Wilwood BBK and are wraped in Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3. And that be what the Z be pimpin in the winter.
On the other hand if the snow gets too deep I just take the Murano.

 

Hey jerkoff did'nt i say that i do drive it winter, snow and rain!!!!!!!!!!!! Read
If i was a rolling in a 100k benz or something sure i would probably store it but its just a 30k car who cares... I guess people in ny dont give a **** then right.. More important **** in life than a car to worry about .. Posing up pics of your car sleeping comon people

 

^love mah City Peeps!

 

You feel me right?? I buy my cars to be driven not parked up 3 months out off the car cuz its too cold outside or it might get a wet from snow

 

yeah man i hear you. I just got tired of keeping the Z clean cause it's black, so just when the weather is Sh1tty i keep the Z in the tent and drive the beater, otherwise im cruising around.

 

my pics will come friday+, gota finish my exams before i get to my hobbies

 

My Z isn't in winter storage yet, but it's gonna have to be soon, it's actually in a shop right now so as soon as i get it back she's gonna have her final washing and get covered up in my garage until March, it's so sad!!

 

I buy my cars to be driven and enjoyed too. If I want to go off-road or if it's winter time I enjoy driving my Cherokee more

 

Heres mine stored for the winter!


What better time than winter for a Supercharger install!
Its quite a bit further now, almost done.

My Z maybe isnt a 100k benz, but whats the point in struggling to drive in blizzards if you don't have to? I have an 00 Cherokee for winter....its alot easier to drive through all this crappy WI snow than a Z

 

yeah i got that, but driving nyc is kinda like off roading in itself.

 

Dry, high and dirt free.
