Then you drive home from the car wash & your car is all covered with salt again.
No thanks.
Mine's covered up until the next rain washes the salt away & clears off the roads.

Mine also in the garage. Started and let it run for about 35 min earlier. Temps down to single digits today in milwaukee. Won't see the roads until april depending on the amount of salt & snow left.

I can deal with the cold just keep the snow and ice away. First they go overboard with the chemicals and road salt here.Second they can't drive here on a warm summer day and when there's rain,snow,or sleet involved it's like a demolition derby around here

Same here in Chicago. My Vette is hibernating at least for a month or two.
Record cold all over North America. The coldest in 10 years here in Chicago. Al Gore...What happened to the global warming you promised us? Tell it was not just to make you money Al.

Five degrees is cold. Best you don't drive it. It was eighty five here today. If I was into removing the top it would have been a perfect day for it. I guess you probably don't want to hear about it.
