Well, it started snowing here today. And lots of it. Makes me just feel dirty driving her around in this weather, so I guess i'll be storing her soon... not sure where though.

On the upside, i might pick this up for a winter beater

I would think that an older AWD SUV would make more sense. They can be bought cheap now.

 

haha well keep in mind i just turned 18, still at school, still have to make payments on car, insure new one, gas, food etc. with only a part time job, so i don't have tooo much money lying around.

 

 

They're manageable payments, and if my grades slip car is bye bye until they're up, so it's a pretty fair trade off

 

LOL, don't buy that Bel Air! I'd rather ski to school.

 

haha its just for a poo winter car

 

R u kidding? u know how much maintenance that car would be to keep running bad idea

 

Yeah, I got you.

I suppose it is too late to point out that a rear wheel drive sports car is probably not the best car to have as your only vehicle in a part of the world with anything but mild winters?

 

Haha ah ya. But i'm a teenager so for the most part i just think about the present. I'm thinking with the money i've spent/spending, I probably could've got a pretty decent truck thats good all year in weather.

But then summer rolls around and the z is out and i forget about it.

 

I'm kinda like you, I'm 20 and my 350Z is my only car but the difference is that I don't have a daily drive. I live on campus and walk to class. No FWD sedan necessary.

 

GO drift in the snow!

 

I am in Minnsota and I drive my 350Z all-year with no problem. Minnesota is known for cold temperatures from November to March with some significant snowfalls.

Of course I run studless snow tires (a dedicated wheel/tire setup) during the winter months.

When snow depths exceed 4", I park the car until the the streets are plowed.

damn i hate it when it snows and it gets very cold....


...wait.. i'm in southern california i take that back lol

 

YES!!!!!!! I bought a 95' S14 for a winter car and it's AWSOME!!! I paid $3000 with a set of good winter tires/rims..(cough)its auto(cough)..
But I have sooooooooooo much fun winter drifting....

 

I lived in Utah for two years and am glad I dont have to deal with snow anymore.

 

love winter drifting, i just picked up a rusted up 1992 s10...2wd haha great for drifting..i dont really go anywhere in the winter but it sucks being stranded without a car so i picked it up and i can throw a sled or anything on it and my snowboard...they were asking 600 bucks for it and i got it for 400...only 66k miles and runs great but rusted all up, oh well gives it character

 

I really enjoyed driving the Z in the snow. It's all of the salt and cinders and other harmful stuff that finally got me to buy another car as a DD this year (Subaru WRX). I must say I'm really looking forward to having AWD this winter. I think I can still make pretty fun work out of a snow-covered parking lot with the WRX.

 

Subaru's are awesome in the snow! I also had a Audi 1.8T quattro that I had snow tires on and the car was unstoppable.

 

What's snow?
