Couldn't take it. Had to drive the car down the road and back earlier. I hate all of you who live down south.

Mine is torn apart for an engine swap which sucks because we've been having some mid 60* sunny days lately.

I want to get mine out, but it's in another town in my dads garage . I really need to find some time at the end of this month to put a few things on, turn up the boost and get her retuned for the track. I'm wanting to hit 10's in march

We have about a foot on the ground, and some massive snow banks, but the roads have all been clear and dry for over a week now. But I just recently got my cam swap done and had to get it out and drive it lol.

a foot. Come on over to the OH, snow belt. A foot may as well be an inch, lol. Although, it's the salt & chemicals used on the roads that keep most of us out here off of them. It's usually mid-late April before rain has removed it all.

It was a little more but we've had a few 50 degree days here that melted a little away. And yes I agree. I wouldn't take my car out with any salt on the road. Only reason I did was because it rained for a few days prior and melted away the majority of the salt!

I hear ya brother. Meaning was to let you know that we feel your pain. It's been too long since the last mild Winter. We're due one. Hopefully, within the next couple of years.
