I'm in NW Ohio and the roads here are covered with salt. Once the snow stops for the year, I wait til we get a few good rain storms to clean all the salt off the roads before i Take the Vette out.

i figure i'll let the next guy take care of it underneath. i do clean the chrome wheels and the body......downside of the lease is i'm on the clock and can't afford to wait around........ready for another run on monday. i also do it to keep the battery and fluids right.interestingly for me,the voltage monitor was 14.7 after not being able to drive it for 19 days and it has never been higher that 14.5!

LMAO TBIRD57!!!!!!!!

Went and shot off my mouth about our nice weather over the weekend!
We hit our high of 42 bright and early today. Now they are calling for light snow this evening and tomorrow! If it does snow.....will be real light and no chance of sticking though.

Open mouth.........insert foot!

Nice and sunny in Connecticut today. Took the Vette to work so it'll get some use today (about 60 mile round trip). Feels good to get it out.
