Officially* hate snow
So when i got out of school today there was a unexpected snow fall and I fishtailed into a guard rail :'( Thought it would be a lot worse when it happened luckily it was a guard rail not another car. Will get it fixed asap =)

Samething happened to me man. They were calling for rain and then it started piling up. I was like I need to go work from home and everyone is like "cars can't be that bad in the snow", they have no idea. Luckily I fishtailed safely back home. I hope this winter isn't like 2 winters ago....But definitely time to get the winter car out.

You're damage doesn't look too bad, but that still sucks. It could have been worst man.

That's what I did! This will be my first winter with it.

Last year I had snow tires on the Z, which I will put on again this year for emergency situations but realistically the Z is going to sit in the garage and the B13 will be used all winter.

To the OP, sorry to see that damage dude. It could have been alot worse though.

First taste of snow while moving from Florida to Vegas. All my pants and warm cloths(besides hoodie) were in the mail. I didn't think I was going to have to worry about snow but a horrible blizzard hit Texas, New Mexico and Arizona and made for a bunch of snow and -14degrees. First time driving in snow and what a way to do it with summer high performance tires This was last December and after that I learned to hate snow.

Dude, I don't know what's more crazy, driving your Z in the snow, or the fact you are wearing shorts! Hahahaa
