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.

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
