It's pretty funny that the only cars out there are sports cars. Where are the weenies with their invincible 4-wheel drives? My dad always said, "A poor carpenter always blames his tools." It's supposed to be about 5 here in a couple of days, which means you'll probably be freezing your bums in negative numbers. Come onnnnnn Spring!

I don't have to worry about that here in austin texas, lol. Today was in the 70's. You might want to reconsider where you live if you don't like cold weather. I know for sure that i don't. I use to live in Newjersey and i just hated it. Jersey is boring as hell.

Same crap up here in Elkhart. Snowing right now and we're suppose to get up to 9" of lake effect. I have Michelin X-ice on the Z and it's simply a blast to drive in the winter.

It's pretty cold here this week, though the cold doesn't really bother me. When I was younger we used to get a lot more snow than in the last number of years. I daily drive the Z and haven't really had a problem this year yet. Even drove the other night when we had a couple inches on the ground... that was fun 
I had a 2000 Celica GT-S prior to the Z. I swear, even with quality tires on the Celica... the Z is still slightly better than the Celica. Both cars suck in the snow though (though the Z is more fun, RWD FTW)

This is the first winter season with the Z but the few times I've been out, it seemed to handle itself pretty well.

The Z is pretty much undrivable here this time a year thats why i got a beater. Roads and weather here are garbage.
Passed a brand new Z on the side of the road with his hazzards on the other day. Couldnt make it up a small hill....actually i wouldnt even call it a hill, just a slight incline in the road.
My Z is hybernating..
