Default When the weather man is wrong...

They said "up to 1 inch of snow between noon & 2pm"... It started snowing at 10am and didn't stop til about 11pm... Got about 4-5 inches and it was all on top of ice. I thought I was having a hard time getting home, but then I passed about 15-20 cars in the ditch, over the curb and into retaining walls, just plain idiots. While the Z got home on summer performance tires! hahaha



I'm thinking someone else didn't get the memo either. The carbs have open "wire mesh" filter under the snow... oops

Sucks! That was always my fear when the Z was my only car. Not so much getting stuck in the snow, but making sure I had my snow tires swapped onto the car before the first snowfall. Driving the Z in the snow was pretty fun IMO, although luckily I never had to do it on summer tires.

when i had my last z i got stuck at a buddies when i woke up one morning to 5 inches of snow. i was on summer tires and ended up getting stuck at a light a mile down the road. like 15 people got out to push and i barely got it into a parking lot and just left it until the snow melted. i dont know how you did it man. maybe it was perfectly flat all the way home haha.

no, there's actually hills here in Omaha. Nebraska isn't ALL flat. lol

I did get stuck at a light on a flat surface due to the amount of ice I was sitting on. Spun through the entire light, just to finally catch traction when it turned Red again. BTW, there wasn't a car in front of me when the light turned green originally. HAHAHA People behind me were PISSED!

I woke up to this a few years ago on May 15th.. It went from nice and green grass when we went to bed, to this in the morning. I had an hour drive back to town in this crap to get to work!

There is a Z in that first pic.....




The highway drive to work, I was plowing snow with my front bumper for quite a while:
