EVERY pair of chains I've ever owned has broken and whipped the **** out of a fender. There's no way I'll ever put chains on my Z.

Sigh... I'm hating Oregon right now, this is in West Linn. This is my Z (or ski jump?) as it sits right now Sorry for the cell pics.










My Fit almost looks more helpless though because its so low haha.

you can find $500 winter beaters that are cheaper than the cost of a full set of snow tires

+++ 1 Do not want to pay insurance on a POS and I don't see the value in driving around in an ugly thing that drives like **** when I could be riding in comfort and style at the price of a little dirt on my car. (Oregon doesn't salt the roads, the only danger is rock chips from the gravel they spread and I've got a clear bra )

All worth it. It's a 30k car. Once I have a few extra vehicles and it's a Porsche we're talking about.... THEN I will consider locking it up in the garage for winter. I spend way too much time driving to spend it in a POS. I love driving the Z. No way around it

maybe worth it for you.. but not to your fellow tax payers who have to pay for your need to drive with chains
