who's car is still in winter storage?

i drove my car for a few days (100 miles) on the salty roads...then i flushed the bottom, washed it and put it in storage in the garage...it had rained for 3 days straight....the salt was off the road, the temps were 50-60's....i planned on taking it out this week....then we went down to the 20's and had freezing rain/snow....the roads are now White with salt....no warmup coming...no rain...

this sucks....looks like im into the 2nd week of April (or later) now (from the long range outlook of COLD)

WI Sucks....

Mines in storage until April 1st... We had some warm weather but cold again and they are calling for snow Sunday morning. I know the car is sold and waiting to go when the 392 gets here, but I just can't bring myself to drive her in the crappy weather.

Mine has been out once, and now it's supposed to snow here again (WTH?)
Fortunately it's supposed to be out of here by Monday. I hope they don't salt the roads.........

Looks like I will be waiting until at least May this year, we still have 3 feet of snow on the ground and it is not warming up. Haven't driven my car since last October so the snow and cold can leave any time now.
