I have mine insured until Nov. 9th during which I have to find a POS to drive for the winter months. I was considering driving my Z through the winter and then just getting the front bumper repainted come spring......we'll see. I hate to think about down grading.

I'll be taking the collision part of my insurance off in November and putting the Z to bed for the winter. I am going to be putting it up on jack stands to take the pressure off the tires but will keep the load on the suspension. I may use the time to install the borla dual exhaust that I am considering. I hope I can get a few more good weekends before we get more snow.

We had a dusting last night. Some areas here got a half inch! Baby was in the shop getting the stereo repair. Sounds much better!

We keep ours on the road but never drive it if it's icy or ofcourse snowy. Remember, we got our Z November 19th last year! We took delivery, went on our first vacation in six years, and came home to a big snowfall that never went away till March! We still NEED to drive it so it will stay on the road!

Still haven't made the final decision yet, but I'm leaning towards driving it all through the winter...going out this weekend to shop around for snow rubber and steel rims. Anyone know any good tire shops in central MA? I usually go to C&R in Worcester, but I wanna price them out at a few locations before I buy.

Default Roadster

I got my Roadster on Tuesday morning. That night is was warm (68) so I got to put the top down!

Since then it has been in the 30s in the mornings. Brrrr. (I am in CT).

I am going to drive the vert all Winter, except in snow. For snow days I got a Durango 4x4.

With the heated leather seats it should be comfy.

I'll be driving it in the winter. If it gets nasty outside, I'll be staying home from work so no big deal.

I walk to work, but as long as there's no snow on the ground, I'll take it out for errands or a spin whenever I need to...

As do I...I've been trying to be optimistic about it. Last winter was an unusually bad one for us, so the law of averages says that this year won't be nearly as awful. I've got a friend who's really heavy into meterology, and it's his belief that the severity of this winter is still up in the air....without a dominant el nino or la nina, there's equal chances of being normal, above-average, or below average. We shall see....
