All my brothas from the north, how do you deal with not being able to drive the Z? I parked it last week, but it has been raining non stop, so I didn't really think much of it. BUT today is a nice day, and I miss not being able to drive her I think I am going to order some goodies every once in awhile just so it gives me something to do, kinda like little projects.

Feel free to share your stories or experiences.

 

Blizzacks on the stock wheels - 24/7/365 although we don't get a ton of snow in central Ohio - last year almost none at all.

 

lol winter.

 

lol Cali. j/k but maybe not so much.......

 

 

^jelly of you californians and semi nice weather right now.

My car didn't come with stockers...not too mention the roads get quite salty.

 

I put a car cover on mine Nov 1st and think of how little salt will accumulate on the underside and wait for spring, then it's like having a new car all over again!

 

Feel ya man, i washed/waxed her for the last time 2 weeks ago....got my battery tender and car cover on. It sucks...i'm in cali, and its raining as it should be...i hate winter. But i got a few parts that will be on order soon...so gona get some work in while this shitty weather is around.

 

I just put my three away for the winter. I don't enjoy doing it but I'm used to it from over the years. Just have something fun to drive year round then you don't miss the Z!

 

+1

I did it the first week of October and of course I could have driven it another month the way this weather has been. Oh well.

Yes, little projects does give me fixes for not driving it.

 

Do you guys plan to drive it at all....for sake of fluids/tires not having issues? I dont really want to, whole point is to keep my car away from the shitty road conditions etc....but a buddy of mine was saying he takes his non-op evo out once a week just to keep fluids from hardening up and tires from having flat spots...

 

I'm just disconnecting the battery and letting it sit for 3 months. Over inflate tires and just roll the car back every month. Only start the car up if you plan on giving it a decent drive. There is a thread on tips for storage around here somewhere.

Also, tonight I am ordering a new shift **** and shift boot. Possibly some cf vinyl for the interior as well. This should keep me good for the next while

I'm not turning it on until Spring, just like this past April. It keeps any unwanted moisture out of the system. Just let it sit and you'll be good.

 

Thanks for the link, good info

 

Doing a track day this weekend

 

The temperature doesn't stop me from driving mine. If there is no salt on the road, and no snow or rain coming down, I drive it. Come Thanksgiving I throw some blizzaks on it, just in case. But life is too short to worry about it. It's not a Veyron...

 

Was at an Italian import show who this past summer and there was a 2012 Lambo there with 15,000 miles on it already. Daily driver, Blizzaks in the winter, in Cleveland. Made sure to shake the guy's hand - he bought it to drive it. Except in deep snow of course.....

 

What is winter?

 

805350z beat you to it...

 

I just can't do it, I just can't do it. I have my daily driver sitting out in the weather, and the ZR in the garage even thought I have a car cover and it ready to be put outside. I keep finding little things I want to take care of, or some such excuse. Oh well, I know when I hear snow is on it's way the ZR will be parked and covered till spring.
