I always wait until it rains a few times to wash away any salt still on the roads. Mine doesn't come out until April. We seem to get one last snow fall between February and March here.

There was no reason to pull the cars off the road this winter.

Honestly, what do you think would happen to your car if it's out in the elements one time? Do you think it will explode or the body will instantly rust off and break in pieces all over the road the second a thing of salt/rain/snow touches it?

Of course it's safe, cars are made to handle rain and other forms of precipitation.

Hmm, idk about you guys but the salt on the roads by my house in new york EAT the bottom of the cars, especially if you don't have time to wash them all the time. I have a northeast car that's 11 years old with little to no rust on the undecarriage, i just want to keep it that way

It's supposed to snow this weekend in Ohio. I would say you can bring it out though. I never put mine away this year. I put my all season tires back on just in case. I'll probably bust out my sticky tires in about 2 weeks after I polish out my one rim I have left.
