If the weather is nice, mine will come out of hibernation next Saturday. First car show of the season is that day.

What's this "storage" you speak of?

They haven't salted the roads in a couple of days just need a few good down pours to wash salt off road. Hopefully in two or three weeks car will come out. Can't wait.

It was warm and I couldn't resist, took it out this morning for a short trip. I'll wait for a heavy rain to be sure all the salt is gone before hitting the highway.

What is with this fear of salt?
