Took out the Z today was warm and dry enough to get around and was fine with it till I got it back to my shop. My car looked grey with all the salt. A quick rinse and will go into work tomm and wash and wax it. Was only out for an hour or so BUT IT FELT GREAT. Cant wait for summer

In this part of the country, it's always nice when you can go on a cruise in the middle of winter. Good deal that you had a nice day to do so.

I took mine out today too, and I left it in the driveway. I'll put it away tomorrow; I'm too tired and lazy to do it right now.

Man, I feel for all you guys that winterize your rides all season. It never gets colder than 40 where I live, and I drive mine every day. And yet, every day it's a rush just getting into it. It never gets old, even as a DD.

Hope spring comes quick for you guys!
