I have mine out already. It poured rain for about 3-4 days straight a few weeks ago the it snowed a little more and today but just a trace of snow. There is still some "rock" salt at stop signs but the rest of the roads are fairly clear so I said **** it how many times am I going to be 18 with a sweet *** car and am now driving it.

Got my car out for the first time in months and drove down to Indy for some final 4 festivites. It rained the entire way down and then thought I was gonna get caught in a tornado or a hail storm on the way back. But I made it out with no dents. I can verify that the windshield wipers still work at 100 mph.

I paid my insurance off for when it comes out. I saved a lot more money than I thought I would also! Just wish the days would go by faster though

I am thinking after easter or first week of may. I am looking out my window and there is a fresh snow fall on the ground. The days that it hits 60 i wish i have it out. When it gets down to 24 in the evening (with snow occasionally), I am glad it is still in storage.

Where are you at that it snowed? Nothing here near Grand Rapids. Got a little freezing rain/sleet last night but fine today. On my way to Martin for the first test and tune in an hour or two.
