Winter sucks!! You southern guys are lucky!

It is pure hell going outside in the cold, but not being able to drive the Z because of the tires really sucks. I took that risk yesterday and as luck would have it, was being baited into a race with an older 911 turbo on the highway. I'm old enough now to know when to just say no. I respect this car like no other I've owned. I have spun the tires in the summer at 60 mph so no way was I taking that chance when it's cold.

God please bring on the spring.

I truly feel blessed to live in the south. Drove my Z around today with the windows down and was picking on a couple of Mustangs. Even went shopping with my wife and daughter in it for a little while.

At least you can drive yours, with all the snow and salt on the roads I haven't heard mine running since late Oct, and wont start it up until mid April.
The only thing I do is wax it in my heated garage LOL!

My Z has been sleeping since the beginning of November. If the weather starts to improve enough in March then I will wake it up. Right now I am using my little 99 honda civic with only 67,000 miles on it.

Was a beautiful weekend here in Dallas. Got the car washed and dropped the top. Don't hate :-)

I've got to get the hell out of this part of the country. 10 degrees and haven't seen my car since the end of November in storage at a friends place out in the country. Used too love winter but every year older I get the less like it.
