No rest for the weary here, JN. 20K+ miles, and she'll be driven in the winter as long as the roads are clear...remember, salt is water soluble.

Now, its time for a sip of Wild Turkey.

I'm doing fine, my brother. I know where you are they get paid extra for making the roads a mess with all the salt and sand. I won't drive mine when the roads are messy...but once they're clear, I'll take her out just to get my mind clear. Just can't stand seeing the car sit to long without moving.

Well, mine is sort of put away. If the weather is good and the roads are dry, it won't take much to get her out there.

my '04 Z is in snoozeland as of saturday night. Sunday morning, I awoke to 2" of the white stuff coupled with TONS of sand/salt.

I live on a gravel road which prolly won't be cleaned 'til April so she'll be sleeping for a while. I brought home some Sta-Bil for the tank.

This is going to be rough not driving it for soo long! It only has 4200 miles on it
