I can't control the temps in early October. I'd rather drive it into November and deal with those cold temps than put it away too soon.

BTW, I found a place to store my Z and it won't be in my garage.

Anyone have recommendations for car storage places over the winter? I'd hate to tow my roommate's T/A, but I'll be damned if a snowflake touches the Z.

Scuba, there is winter storage facilities at the Dakota County Fairgrounds. It's very reasonable. Better get it done soon, though.

Trav, it's like getting into a new car when we start driving in the winter. Plus, it's fun to look for mods over the winter.

Man, if it didn't need as much work as it honestly needs, I'd scoop that baby up fast and get that Import / Muscle connection going.


Also, thanks for that suggestion on those SSR wheels. I'm thinking I can sell the wheels I got from the guy I bought my Z off of, and get those in the spring.

I'm loving the GTV01 style, but those 02 and 03's look like they could be a fun look too
