I drive mine all winter, and in a place where there is plenty of snow and ice. The car does look a little ugly during the winter months when it’s wearing 4 skinny snow tires. I do worry about the salt and road chemicals.

And it's gonna snow the next two days here. Oh well.

 

Breaking mine out of storage next month probably. Makes me sad to see these cars driven through salt

 

A car is a car. If you worry about it that much, you probably shouldn't drive at all. Rocks, sand, leaves, pine needles. Anything can scratch or hurt the paint/metal. Salt at least washes off.
Would I like to have a second vehicle so I can keep one nicer and have it as a weekend/track car....sure. But I doubt that'd stop me from taking it out now and then. It's just too much fun in the winter.

 

I daily drive mine in the snow. I usually take a hose and wash down the underbody when its bad out and get all that salt off. Been doing it for years and no problems here!

 

I'm from Los Angeles so I can drive mine whenever, but I do wish I could drive it in the snow and see what its like to break the back out so easy

 

Got mine out yesterday for a drive in the 58 degree sun. Awesome. Washed it and it looks great. Snow possible tomorrow, but sunny the rest of the week. Have to travel for work Friday and its supposed to be nice. Z trip!

 

Drove my 350z all winter long (2012-2013) and never had a problem. I did mount studless snow tires for winter driving. I remove these for A/S tires to handle spring driving. --Spike

 

Washed mine and gassed it up yesterday. It's been in the garage an agonizing 24 hours now.
