Are you the one who asked about taking the Z on a road trip to Colorado Springs?

If you are, I hate to say it, but we told you so? Any auto parts store should have them, try Pep Boys.

GL with the Z, it is nasty outside, be careful. My Z is nice and toasty inside the garage,

I am traveling through Trinidad enroute to Phoenix tomorrow. I hope the roads are cleared by then. I am taking the Maxima so I should be okay though!

i will stay here till 12/27 or 12/28 .. weather.com said the weather will be warmer .. so hopefully .. i will get outta here safely. I was at the rental car office 2 days a go, but the they messed up my paper work, and gave me the shitty car which i didn't like, so I end up driving my Z up here. (I should get the shitty car shouldn't I? ) Lucky that I came here before snow fall, at 9PM last night, now the hardest part is to find the snow chain. I have tried nissan dealer sand discounttire, they dont have it. Will try PepBoy .. thanks zand02max !

You are better off renting a car here, park the Z until it warms up. Looks like it will start warming up on Friday, def. by Sunday!

GL!

Definitely good luck with the Z and the snow. I’m too poor/stupid to have a winter car so my Z has on snow tires. With those tires, the LSD, Traction Control, Weight distribution, and VDC it’s not too bad. What sucks is the low clearance. I cringe every time I have to drive over a high center lane snow bank or the car ice poop. I saw a Z28 Camaro driving this morning too so I didn’t feel like a complete jackass. Screw the 26” rims, if you want to get noticed drive a 350z in the snow.
