Jay Gadsby Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I don't know the pain of storing the z for the winter yet, but I do have to winterize my boat tomorrow. Thank goodness Texas has a long boating/Z season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Is that time of the year to put my beast to rest and away from the lethal salt , each year it becomes harder to do this >>> CAM00332.jpg Yep - I usually keep driving until they put salt out, and then the Z only comes out if there is good weather and there has been enough rain to wash the salt off the roads. They are predicting snow flurries on Thursday - hopefully not enough to bring the salt trucks out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 My car has been garaged for the winter for 3 weeks now and will not see the roads for 5 more months. Its hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yea, it's rough way down here too... suppose to get in the 40's this weekend. Guess it's getting close to time to drive my Z with the windows up... jk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 They don't salt the roads in Georgia (as I found out during last year's flustercuck of an ice storm), so anyone up north with a hybrid Z can kennel it in my garage! I promise to keep it well exercised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zzeal Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I feel like I'm a little late to the S30/LS2 party. I knew it would be a fun get-together, but I had no idea of what a blast it would be. I joined the party just last week. It was an addictive, sensory overload experience, like having my own raucous, wicked fast amusement park ride!. Now, I've got to put it away for the winter… pegs my "oh crap-o-meter". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfg Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I realized my registration expired last month and since I haven't driven it in the past month I figured I would call it a season. I started to replace the manifold gasket and it looks like the car has already made friends with the local rodents It was sitting in the engine bay while the car was running!: My goal now is to make the car more enjoyable to drive next season. Until then I'll be battling all the crusty pieces in my engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Is THAT what all that white stuff is in the Facebook Photos I keep seeing? During this "Winter" salt falls from the skies in the "Rust Belt" to kill cars and other metallic objects?

Phantom Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Got my boat back from winterizing yesterday and it started to snow here about an hour ago. Supposed to be about 50 tomorrow, though, so it isn't going to stick around. I've had the snow blower warmed up and ready to go for about 3 weeks now. Time to put the battery tenders on the boat and the two Z's. I'm expecting a big commission check in December which will allow me to do a bunch of stuff to my 280Z28 this winter - some of which has been waiting for a couple years. This spring I'll be putting two new tires and a set of shocks on the Z32 convertible as well as getting a 4-wheel alignment on it. Should be able start the next driving season in pretty good shape if all goes to plan. Sometime in the next year I hope to get the 280Z28 back into a paint shop and freshen up the 18 year old paint on the car. Seems like it never ends when the cars are used as daily drivers.
