Winter/Commuter beater -

I love getting back in the Z for the first time after a couple months driving the honda.

 

2001.5 audi S4

does the trick anytime I don't drive the Z.

not like we get any snow around here though.

 

Yesterday I went to Blackhawk, made a U-turn and came back. I was very nice to let 'Da Z breathe some fresh cold mountain air!

 

Lol... FTC FTW! ;-) Well, last winter, how did you get through this town
when the snowbanks were at 6ft?

I drive a 96Rodeo with burly All terrain T/A tires... 4wd and that thing
can get through anything... I can't wait to retire it to the SNOW only
car though... its not young enough to hold up to year round driving any
more.

 

David just saw mine the other day. Its a 1993 Grand Cherokee limited with 166K and still running! I just install a new tranny ($3K) and now I looking to add new suspensions.

My step-father pass it down to me and since he has passed away last June, I can't bare to get rid of it. I have too much memories with him in this vehicle.

Last year, the vehicle was down so I drove the Z in the blizzard.

 

The plows come through pretty regularly on the street I live off of so getting from my apartment to the highway isn't much of a challenge. I could probably drive my Z in the winter, but the commute down I-25 would tear the paint up pretty bad. Hell, just driving it in the summer is hard enough on it. I need to replace my bumper and hood from just 1 summer of commuting

'06 IF paint is both 1. expensive ($400 a quart) and 2. impossible to color match

 

My winter beater is a 1995 Jaguar XJ6. It works for now. Though I drive my Z as long as there is no snow.
