Hopefully, Jimmy. I drove to Grayslake yesterday and can't believe the amount of salt on some of the roads. They're literally white. I'm hoping the rain this weekend (and a few more after that) will wash some of the salt away. As you said, it shouldn't be too long before the weather starts to change for the better.

Yes my friend, rain, rain and more rain, will wash most of this salt away. Let's just hope the temps don't get to close to freezing for fresh salt to be thrown down (that's my concern). If not, the Viper ACR comes out prowling tomorrow.

Had to go into the garage to reset the clock this morning. Felt great pushing the seat memory button and getting all comfy again. Had to sit and listen to music while I figured how to reset the clock.
Wife wondered what I was doing in the garage for almost 15 minutes. LOL

I de-winterized the Corvette and changed the oil yesterday. I want to be ready for any nice weather. I did take it for a spin around the block, but too much salt to go on main roads. Might be able to get it out later in the week though!

Thank GOD for the rain..........
All that rain washed away all the salt and I had my Viper ACR out all afternoon the roads were fairly clean for this time of year. Felt great being back in the Green Venom machine, I LOVE rowing them gears on the manual Tremec 6 speed! 
Heck, as of today now the sun is even out for 1 longer each day as we march closer and closer to 2019 (drive your fun and bad ***) car season!

It will be mid to late April before I even take a peek under the cover! You guys have fun chasing salt, rain and snow!

Ya, Tuesday will be my first real drive in the ZR1, as long as it’s dry out I’m going, it’s been long enough. Go out about 10am when all the morning idiots are already parked.
cant wait.
