I love this. I've never seen anything like it! Would be a great option if I had a spot in the garage to park it.

I'm usually a fan of winter, but I'm beginning to hate it. That is the reason why. I have my Z out today..there's a dusting of snow on the grass but the roads are clear. I don't mind driving it until they dump salt and gravel on the roads, then the Z does not move!

I miss SoCal. But living paycheck to paycheck without the military was inevitable if I stayed. I don't WANT it to snow, but if it does, I'm looking forward to some handbrake turns in my Hatchie.

Alright, this questions has probably been asked a thousand times. But what do you reccomend for winter storage? My options are either buy a "good" car cover and park it in the driveway or rent a storage unit for several month with a cheaper cover on it. I can get a unit for 50 something dollars a month. I figure for the amount of money I will pay for the storage unit for the winter I can buy a quality cover and I'll be able to use that year around. I know the unit is obviously the better option but is it worth the money? I mean, I cherish my car, but it's not like I have some exotic car haha.
You can rent a storage unit for $50? Can't touch one for under a $100 in my area, and I'm not talking about a heated one either.

I was just at the dealer yesterday checking out a 370Z Nismo and something occurred to me. Why does everyone make a big deal of leaving (sports) cars outside for winter, especially if you don't have a cover etc.?
I was thinking..that Nismo is most likely going to be sitting on the lot up until the spring. Many new, or close to new, cars sit outside for months, including the winter, so why is people freak out about leaving cars stored outside? I'm sure most 350zs and 370zs are kept outside even when they are brand new, mine being an exception because it was in the showroom
