Man, do I feel ya. I bought a winter beater just to get me through the next couple months and just yesterday it broke down and is now in the shop. Dreaming of a nice warm day when I can jump in my Z and not have to deal with this ********. I'm seriously considering moving south this spring....

Mine's laid up - it doesn't even do rain which occurs here every few months during the winter "storms" we get. Pampered baby.

Yeah, it's starting to get to me, not having the Z around I'll get to see her this weekend though, when I install an extra amp it's like the court finally granted me visitation rights.

My Z is under a cover in a warehouse and i am driving the pathfinder full time again. I do miss the Z, but it is nice to have 4x4 in the snow and not worry about rock chips or door dings.

Not in storage but I do not drive it much in the winter. It has been in the garage now for two weeks. It has been snowing, plus all the sand on the road now I won't take it out for awhile. Sigh. Yes I miss driving it. Although I am excited about the exhaust I will be putting on her this spring. Makes the wait a little better.
