Message	This is my first year owning a Z in the winter. My parents currently have an extra car and my dad is telling me i should use it instead of the Z. It's a 90" Chrysler New Yorker FWD with a tranny problem(when it over heats it doesn't shift into 2nd gear). Since it's winter and cold i can drive it maybe 30 minutes? Should i put the Z away for the winter and have restraints in going places i have/need to go to? or just use the Z. I've driven a 88 Linoln Towncar for 2winters with no problem except in 1feet+ snow. And the thing is the Z isn't in immaculate condition body/paint wise so i'm not worried about the salt or snow, It's supposed to be my DD.
