c'mon if porsche drivers are doing this to their 60k+ cars...

 

Who cares if they go overboard? It just shows how much they enjoy the car and want to preserve it.

Don't criticize people for their habits.

 

Kirk honestly I dont care ... Maybe when a little responsiblity comes along and they get a life they will see there's more to life than a car.I bought my cars to be driven my Lexus and the Z im sorry i must be retarded because of that

Oh and BTW your a funny ***** Kirk your posts crackes me up

 

Sorry storage people. I might have a single day per year that I don't hit the roads due to snow & other fowl weather. In the summer I usually drive the truck a couple of weeks or so, fishing & camping.

 

If you don't care... why post about it?

In reality, someone with responsibility will want to take care of and prolong the life of their belongings. Buying a Lexus/Z just to be driven is a bit unnecessary for something "just to be driven." Why not a cheaper chevy or ford? Do you want the cars as a "status symbol?" Hyundai offers a much cheaper alternatives with all the necessities, if not more, than what the Lexus/Z may offer.

Someone who criticizes someone for not being responsible while owning two unnecessary vehicles is not as mentally mature as they think they are.

 

I feel ya

 

Saying you miss driving your Z, while YOU put it in storage, is like dating a christian chick and wondering why you dont get any pu$$y... just doesnt make any sense

 

some people can only afford one car.. so it has to be driven all year, but if taken care of like a golden baby then it will be fine.

or I will just go get my old ford tempo from high school I gave to my cousin and use it for the winter.

 

I, for one, would rather buy an extra vehicle for the times when:

-I need more seating space
-I need to haul stuff
-I go camping/outdoors

So I have my Jeep Cherokee 4x4. Why would I spend extra money to buy Blizzaks to drive the Z in sh1tty weather when I can drive my Jeep? I miss driving the Z, yeah, but I feel more assured driving the Jeep. No matter how awesome of tire or lbs of sand in the hatch, the Z is NOT a winter driving vehicle. FACT.
When Spring rolls around, I drive the Z everyday. I could care less how many miles are on it, but I'd much rather not drive it when I have the option not to.

Oh, and my Z isn't getting corroded by salt right now. HAHA

 

i'd still drive my coupe

 

When i see everybody on here going nuts with their cars for winter i .I do take care off my cars handwash both of them weekly..Ummm my take, maybe some members here think the Z is godly and will keep it forever and ever the way they sound.
I buy my cars because i like them an can afford them. Ive always wanted a 2seater the only reason i got the Z.. The Lexus is my work vehicle and yes in my line off job you do need a nicer vehicle. Perhaps when more important priorities in life comes along they will change as did I..

 

I won't bag on anyone for storing their cars and I would hope people that store their cars don't bag on people for driving their Z year round. There's nothing wrong with either decision.

I have one car, and I bought it to drive it, despite any conditions. I take care of it because I love it but I'm not really in a position to buy a beater and rent out a garage for the winter

 

Thanks Ben, glad some people actually know how to properly post on the forum still.

 

I'm just a bit east of you. My Z is tucked away in the garage because southern tier loves to salt the roads with the drop of the smallest snowflakes. If I didn't plan on keeping the car, I wouldn't care as much. But, it's my baby. It's not a Ferrari, but it's the nicest thing I own and I will treat it as such.

 

Wow, what a heated discussion, lol. After discovering the z is no go in the snow with out winter tires, I kept my first car and use it in the winter while the Z sits outside parked (private space). Last night I dusted the snow off the z while I took my other car....( I also thought about blizzacks, but being my first car prior to the z still runs and is paid off it was a no brainer.)

Besides (my other car) is great for when I run miscellaneous errands and drive into the city in not so good areas...ever get stuck driving next to or behind a salt truck on the highway....the sound of the salt hitting your car sounds like hail! And lets not mention those unforseeable pot holes...(nyc area)...
however, I do see g35, g37 and some z braving the snow...

 

I'm here for ya David

 

My car will still be in amazing condition 10+ years from now while people who drive theirs in the salt and crap will be rusted out, if you don't wreck on black ice 1st

Im glad I have a daily driver. And a boosted one at that, which I still take great care of.

Jealousy is bad mmmkayyy

And some Porsche owners take better car of their cars than 99% of people.

But yes, i get pissy sometimes in the winter, and I know if I had to Z to relieve stress I wouldn't have near the PMS symptoms that I do sometimes.

 

That is what a lot of people don't understand. The snow is not a problem, it's the fact they salt the roads so heavy your precious exhaust system will be trashed in a matter of a year.



BTW, didn't know you lived so close!

 

Zdayz bro, zdayz.
