Even if the roads aren't dry, with all the rain they'll be salt free, so you still might want to take it out for a spin in the rain and then wash it in your driveway before putting it back in the garage. The temps will be warm enough for driveway washing.

You could probably bring it out sometime this weekend, we're supposed to get a ton of rain to clean off the roads over the next couple of days, and I'm sure there will be some dry clean roads on Sunday at some point.

Yep, 99 days.
At least I get to spend about 70 of them in the sunny south. My wife and I are heading out tomorrow and will be in the West Palm area on Sunday. Golfing Monday, riding Harleys on Tuesday. So much to do so little time!
Have a great winter.

I just picked up my Corvette on Wednesday, after having borrowed my mom's car for a week because of the 4 different storms we got. And I was going crazy just not having my car for a week, so I can't imagine not getting to drive it for many many months. It would just be brutal.

Ok sorry for the guys who don't know me, the countdown is when my car comes back out and on regular insurance. The date for me is April 3rd (don't ask why, just always been the 3rd, ever since I started driving)
Yes it is an eternity, but it's already been away since Nov. 3rd, almost 2 months of torture. I started doing a countdown since I first got a vette, and I can't stop now, its one of the only things that gets me through the winter!! The countdown started for my own personal sanity, but as most of us probably take theirs out April 1, or somewhere around that time, I think it's at least a good general idea of how much longer the withdrawal must endure. I promised I wouldn't start the countdown this season till it went into the double digits.
Patman, yes I could drive it this weekend, gonna be 9 or 10 degrees!!! but it's at my parents and no insurance, so not gonna open that can of worms up. But I did start it up on Christmas, I think it missed me!
By the way,
... it's now 98!!!!!!!
