Me and my car usually come out of hibernation around late April I guess. I actually drove it around the block last week when we had that day in the 50's. It's rough not being able to drive my car. Mother nature has the final say as far as washing the salt away completely.Sometimes in MI though it's almost winter right up until Memorial Day.

I agree with everyone when i say March or April. I usually like to wait until the roads improve a little, so all that salt and large chunks of the road don't mess up my T/A .

Your car breaking is just a sign of it hating you for driving it all winter.
