My grandma is a better driver than you.

 

NICE 1 ^^

Yeah I'm sitting on parts to be installed and enjoyed but this winter has had other plans/delays,,,I just wanna be able to shift again , going from a 350z 6 speed to a 09 civic auto is well...boring as f***.



Winter sucks

 

Gee, and here I am in CA. We are getting ready for a March 1st Big Sur run. Was in the 70's till about a week ago, been raining now for a week, but that's because I live near Pebble Beach and every year they have the Golf Tournament it rains, and this year is no different. Badly needed as to being in a draught for almost a year though. I feel for you guys though, I came here from TN in '97. Was at my brother's house (worst snow storm in 10 years), 5 days later in CA and in the 70's. But on the other side, it's expensive as all get out to live here anyway. But keep your cars safe and ready for Spring. "Long live the Z"

 

^^^ This is why my Mazda3 is a 5 speed. It's NO WHERE near the Z but it still gives me the driving feeling. I've been driving it for 2 months straight and I "went" for 6th today while driving... didn't actually shift though.

I wish I had a bunch of parts to install. All I've done this winter is wrap my interior door handles. I have paid off a BOATLOAD of debt though.

 

I know them feels of not being able to get up the driveway after a snow storm. I got some all season tires, and it's helped a lot. Stay safe OP.

 

Had 2 fresh inches of snow this morning

 

LOL

 

No more here... for now. I just want to see some grass, is that too much to ask for? Lol

 

We got >1in.
This is my Z's first winter

 

cincinnati check in. Permafrost aint goin nowhere fast.

My car is waxed and ice free, chillin in the garage. Luckily I dont daily drive it. Im itchin for a chance to take it out.

 

to prepare myself for the winter I take some random videos of my Z in the summer and watch them in the winter to satisfy my craving to drive it..... but we got 1 more month or so of crap weather here!!!

my car

 

I wouldn't spin the tires in the snowy driveway excessively. There two things, first, when a spinning tire suddenly caught traction, i.e. a dry patch, the impact loading would destroy the weakest link in the driveline. It could be in the form of ripped teeth in the rear diff.

Secondly, while spinning tires on ice or snow, the rear end very rarely follows a straight path. Inexperienced driver would smack one side into the retaining wall or put the car in a difficult position to save.

I'll say, speand $20 and buy a snow shovel or if ice already settled in, an ice scrapper; better yet, buy one each. That big of a driveway will take less than 30 minutes to clear. Driving in and out would be a whole lot easier and there is much less chance of people slipping and injuring themselves or damaging the car parked in the driveway.

Even better yet, do all those and put a dedicated set of winter tires on your Z, they are cheap insurance.

 

My Z hibernates in the garage all winter connected to the Battery Tender. My Dodge Caravan takes care of winter driving duties.

 

That's one clean garage.

 

Cleaner than my entire house

 

That's why I'm glad I don't live in snow. I hate the snow.

 

Yup. 100% chance of making a mark! I agree as well. This winter needs to end. Northern NJ here. Sucks *****....

 

thats why.... everyone need to have a Subie.. for the winter AWD fun and they SEXY Z comes and plays in the summer ;D

 

I wish I wasn't a poor college student... but next fall I'll be doubling my income, so I can afford a winter beater!

 

My B13 does just fine in the snow.

Also the Z with my snow tires are pretty good too. I try not to drive it in the snow not because of the snow, but because of the salt.
