Snow doesn't make cars rust (any worse than rain). Salt from the roads do. It could sit like that for months if it had to, as long as a snow plow doesn't come by and throw dirty snow on it

No kidding.

I just throw my cover on when I hear there's going to be substantial icing or snow.

I love the snow, but I have a Jeep for the winter. I really miss the car during these months.

Salt doesn't even do much damage to cars anymore. If you garage your Z and keep it parked during the winter you're not going to get anymore for it at trade in because it hasn't seen salt.

Acid rain in the summer is probably just as bad for your car as driving it during the winter.

bahaha. I used to live in Dayton, OH. My car was garaged from November to March both winters that I had it in. Last year, I was moving to Denver and trailering to the car, so I pulled it out of the garage on March 9th. Guess what happened that weekend? Blizzard.

It took us 2 hours to get the car on the trailer. I looked just like this pic... except I'm a skinny black guy

Snow doesn't do anything to your car. But try that amount of snow, and then salt/potholes/traction to your Z, and you're in big trouble.
No worries here, my Z has been covered since November from this Chicago weather, which by the way, has been terrible.

It's not any trouble at all. This is my 3rd winter. Just put on snow tires and keep an eye out for any big potholes. I've never been stuck, spun, or bent a wheel. And like I said you're not going to get anymore for your car at trade because it never saw the snow and salt.

People forget this is a 30K Nissan. It makes no more sense to garage a new loaded Malibu. Money is money.
