It's a warning to you that the roads "could" be icy, as ground conditions are cooler than the outside air temperature. Kinda like the "Bridge may ice in cold weather" signs. It's just a warning.

I'd own more, but there's this little money issue I have. I don't have enough of it to own all generations of Maximas. I'm planning to one day have a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and so on in my driveway. What can I say, I love the Max. As for the 350Z, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to own it. It's a fun car to drive.

Bro...sorry to say, but YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP!!!!!

That's a mighty "interesting" goal there.

Oh well. You only live once...might as well drive what you want. I think I stole that from a Toyota ad or something.

Anyways, ever consider a G35 coupe.:droooooooool:

I guess you didn't read my entire post. So I'll post it again. I'll highlight the explanation in bold. :-)

It can snow when the temp is above 32. Just depends on the upper air temp. Also it may be 37 in the sun but in shady areas where there may be standing water it could be frozen.

"black ice" can occur at temperatures well above 32 degrees F.

Bimmers do this too... I can't realy think of a negative thing that bimmers do, so this can't be pointless.
