Default My Z's Snow Pix/Vids Thread

Instead of making multiple threads, I figure I'll just make this one and update with this winter's snowy media. Keep in mind I'm very new to photography and still learning

Great looking shots, but they aaaaaaaaaallll make me cringe. My Z is in hibernation mode safe and sound. Props for driving it. All the odd rubbing cracking creaking noises my Mazda hatch makes kicking through the snow I'm sure I'd have a fit in the Z. IF, I got moving at all on my Hankooks.

Off topic, but what exhaust is that? Authentic HKS? I have never noticed on that style of exhaust the bracket welded from the muffler to the "resonator chamber" on the right bottom, but the top on the left.........

/missing the point

HKS knockoff, the design of the canisters is the give away. The real HKS has welded caps on the ends of those canisters.

I hear ya man, people at work make fun of me cause we will have 2-3 inches of snow and I take a Taxi to work.

$40 ride or wreck my car? Not a hard decision for me.

I don't know how you figure its not welded if you look close you can clearly see the welded caps.

The tips don't stay burnt blue and start to brown after some time, for starters.

Better check yours to make sure you bought the real deal then, the top canisters look completely different with the caps welded on vs. them being formed by a machine. Go look for some pics and its easy to see.
