Default So when are you taking your car out?

I saw a 98-02 silver Formula pass me today going to work, made me really want to have my car out right then. My storage insurance is about one more month, but depending on how much salt is still on the road will make me decide if the car comes out then.

So, when will your car be back on the roads?

not soon enough.... Hopefully within the next 3 weeks or so, after a few good rains to wash the salt off. I've got my stock rims and bald tires on for storage, so I'm gonna make a nice smoke show with it the first day I get it out, before putting the good tires back on.

It rained like hell here a week or so ago and with 60* temps for a day. I saw all kinds of nice cars out, then it snowed and they salted the roads again.

I just can't wait to get mine out, or at least for the 60* temps again. I have a kit of Zaino that I want to put on, but it's too damn cold too.

I had mine out a few weekends ago for some work but put it back away before the snow hit. I'm getting it back out for this weekend for a few dyno runs and I'll probably leave it out.

Same here. I had mine out a a few weeks ago for the first time since it's hibernation. It's been hit or miss ever since due to the uncooperative weather.

Well damn it's supposed to snow here tomorrow and next week, dammit. I would like to get a month of rain to get rid of the salt before I take it out.

Got mine out last weekend. I said screw it. Sun's out and the roads are dry. haven't driven it since Tuesday because they keep forcasting snow but all we've gotten here are a couple flakes.
