Default Another meet on a clear day?

Would anyone suggest planning another Z meet on a clear sunny day? Possibly this Saturday? Don't ask me though because I'm bad at these kind of things.

Another meet on clear sunny day would be nice. I miss the one today because my car was stuck halfway down an embankment on I-25. Snow and tire with less then 25% tread wear left do not mix. However, this Saturday is not good for me because I have alot going on that day.

hmmm well we should get something worked out. I came an hour late today and I saw only 4 Z's so you really didn't miss too much... But yeah I basically missed it also.

Opps! Sorry to hear about that! Were you on the way to the last meet? While the Z is not a good snow car even with full tread OEM tires, they usually don't go off the road. Hope your Z didn't get damaged!

Maybe a Happy Hour meet somewhere one night might be a suggestion.

BTW........4 Z's in bad weather was a good turnout IMO. Sorry, I would have been there sans the Z if I wasn't working.

It's already well into the holiday season, so getting everybody together on a weekend is going to be problematic. But whatever we do, we should consider throwing the meet and the business at Ecstaz' bar, Finn McCools. As a fellow Z car driver, he offered a discount on drinks (outside of happy hour) and a large parking lot. It's located near Arapahoe Road and I-25, making it easier for the guys in the Springs and south 'burgs to make it.

It happen on my way home from work that night. I got caught in a couple of heavy flurries and the snow just cake my tires. The Z got away with out a scratch. I took off my Volks and put my OEM rims back on. I have a set of tires on them that are better suited for winter driving. I am go to have to get a daily beater pretty soon.
