My Z will be due for it's 6-7 month storage for the Winter next month.

Oh well, it just makes me look forward to Spring that much more.

Don't feel too bad OP, both my Zs have been in storage for 10 months, and will continue to be for another 3 years at least .

I can always ship the 350Z back to the US, but the 300ZX is '96 JDM so I would have to wait until it turns 25 years old to ship to any US territory . I'm a somewhat fu**ed right now.

Think of it this way, those that go into storage, lower mileage, unless you make up for lost driving when you get the chance. Maybe better resale value down the line. Or more appreciation each time you get behind the wheel.

Mine's been in storage since Monday, but I'm gonna drive it to the track for my daily workout in about three hours. I'll let the '12 Accord beater/DD sleep late today.

This. If one can't drive the Z, might as well be optimistic about it .

Has to be an upside or you'd go mad.
