I had a 350z for 3+ years, I drove it everyday. It's driveable with blizzaks if you can't afford to get a second car. I never drove in anything more than 2-3 inches of snow, I'd imagine my front bumper would become a snow plow in anything deeper than that. Either way, I could work from home if the weather got bad enough.

BTW, I have a set of blizzaks w/ 3k miles for sale, they're the same size as stock 17's.

 

This means past tense? You have no Z now?
