Snowed this morning road crews out salting. Mine hopefully can come out at the end of April after some warm temps and rain to wash salt off roads. Your car looks great and ready to go. That is one nice storage garage !

I went out to the garage, and put the battery charger on mine, a little while ago. The sun is out here, today, but it's still cold, salt on the roads, as it snowed on Friday, and the weather forecast for this week included snow AGAIN, later in the week!!


So, it's probably at least another couple of weeks, before mine comes back out....

Been driving mine any time there was not snow on the roads - or on my (lengthy) gravel driveway, which is actually more of a problem. Plowing gravel driveways just screws them up, so we just drive through it - that's what Subarus are for........or the K1500 if it gets too deep.

Maybe it's only RWD. RWD pickups do not work well on snow and ice - even when you load then up.
