Anyone else thinking of taking their car out of their winter storage?

14day forecast: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/fourteenday/caon0696

only 3 days of "snow/flurries", which i think wont even happen...

Im on the fence here, any thoughts?

 

no insurance + salty roads = no go until march at the earliest

 

no insurance here also, but can be switched to z in 1 day, regarding salty roads dont know my self =(

 

Salt sucks! So does Sand!

 

Winter tires aren't just for snow, they are for temperature. Summer tires stiffen up and lose traction in these conditions.

 

Good point on the traction, my tires are bald, first thing i do when i take the car out is new tires, put in tpms while at it, then tint, fix camber and then install subwoofer

 

I hear what you are saying. In reality what is happening is, you are feeling the warm weather, your brain is falsely telling your it may be spring. It is not.

Don't pull your car out till the 3rd week of March, weather dependent.

 

3rd week of march! Is that how late most people pull the car out?

 

bs on being able to take the z out the 3rd week of march

i'm thinking more like mid-late april

 

cant take it out on salty roads ,first thing i have to do is my rear camber (alignment)

 

my insurance is back on in March, so it will come out when ever its nice after then

 

Last year April was good and there were a few meets. Top down and cruzing cant wait.

 

Memories of cruzing z in the summer with windows down, ahhh that was beautiful Im thinking the latest when im pulling the car out is march. Gotta be riding my z full swing before my birthday March 20

 

Enjoy functional windows while you can.

 

lol!

i wonder how the pothole situation is gonna be like come spring time.

 

Its going to be baddddd!

 

im actually one of those people that rarely take windows down, due to most cars problems with window motors later on

 

mine will be on the road 2nd week in march! if we run into some bad weather, thats what car pooling is for haha sucks but its better then ending up in the ditch from some slippery roads and summer(bald in my case) tires!

 

I just bought my Z this week. I had to pick it up in Woodbridge and bring it home to Barrie. The weather was nice and mild so I picked it up Wednesday afternoon, brought her home and drove it around for most the night. I took it to work Thursday and almost had to leave it there because of the snow and cold. Friday night was my final rip in the Z before I had to put it in storage Saturday morning.

As mentioned above summer tires stiffen big time in the cold, it was like driving with plastic tires Friday night as it was -10 up here (no snow, roads were dry). Traction was so bad I couldn't even put my foot down in 3rd without spinning... too bad the Z can't do that on a hot day!

It was depressing exposing the Z to the sand and salt, i'm glad it is out of the driveway... out of site and out of mind for the most part :S.
