Difficult to get a dry, no salt day in a Mich winter. Although I have had mine out, at least once, in every month this winter. Snowed again last night..more salt..no go this weekend.

I'm glad we don't get snow down here. The concept of not being able to drive my car during the cold months is absolutely foreign to me.

Wanna trade?

I have had mine out as well. We didn't get any snow today up north of Flint. I was going to take it out tonight but ended up puttering in the garage instead.

My car sleeps peacefully before the first snow where plows have to come out and salt to only after it rains 3-4 times really, really good. I will not take my car out until after the white is gone from the roads... Trigger = no salt... lol

I've had mine out a few times since Feb. Although the lack of heat made for not so fun drives, however it'll be down for a few more weeks now for the new trans install as well as the GHL set up.
I was suppose to put the wifes summer wheel/tires on the Benz today...seeing as how she freaks out inthe snow with the snow tires on...it's not happening soon ![]()

It just stopped snowing here 5 minutes ago. More and more I keep asking myself Why do I live here? People around here are going stir-crazy. This has been a long, long winter.

The first really heavy rain that washes the salt off the roads.

I got a nice 1/2 hour run in clear cool skies this afternoon. Roads were dry & I had to move the car anyway. The winter rest made it faster! ![]() Ian

First day of spring should be around next friday or saturday. I figure that will be the end of our last rain this season, after that its all warm.

My fuel pump or fuel pump relay died the week of the first snow last fall (and it seems like it never freak'n stoped snowing). I still have to order the parts from Pelican.
I got to touch my car today, dried off the condensation under the car cover. Almost froze my hands trying to use a shamie leather cloth - the towels worked better anyway in these temps. The Vietnam vet I know said if he had a gun last week end.......................seasonal disorder is rampant to say the least. Spring can't come soon enough. ![]()

I live Portland Oregon and drive my car on the days it is dry out *windshield wipers don't work and Lars hasn't figured out the wiring yet(sigh)*
I got the car painted in November and it is back in the paint shop for two weeks as of today for touch up work so no play for at least that long, after that it depends on the weather. When I get it back going to try to fix the wipers again but probably won't need them by that time. *lol* Now it is the principal of the thing that keeps me going. Found the wiring diagrams posted here at the forums. Thanks to who ever put those up they are going to be a huge help

Mine's driven daily ... sometimes the ride to work is 45-60 minutes longer that it would be in any of my previous cars.
Spring is teasing me...I've had the top down three times now...60 degress and somewhat sunny is good enough for me! Won't be too long before the top stays down and goes up only when it rains!

The temps are starting to get up into the 60's here. If I can iron out what I did in my tune up or "tune down", spring will be here!

It's got to be warm (above 50 degrees), no salt or trace of salt on the roads before I'll take Helga out. I'm guessing the middle to end of April, but in Michigan, you never can tell!

I think this is the worst winter ever since I've lived here in Michigan. It seems like it is never going to end. God help us!
