to when the Z was my only car and I was doing clinicals in college. Man the roads can be treacherous in the winter with these cars. I grew to Hate to Love my Z, I wanted to trade it in for a SUV sooo bad. There were times where I had to walk to work in 4inches of snow or drive the car and leave it in the parking garage for a week at a time and walk back and forth. Luckily, I only lived about 1/2 mile from work, but it still sucked. Oh well, I now have a SUV for those times. Enjoy your car. Dre
