If the weather is nice, mine will come out of hibernation next Saturday. First car show of the season is that day.

They haven't salted the roads in a couple of days just need a few good down pours to wash salt off road. Hopefully in two or three weeks car will come out. Can't wait.

It was warm and I couldn't resist, took it out this morning for a short trip. I'll wait for a heavy rain to be sure all the salt is gone before hitting the highway.
