Ooh! Ooh!

After a few days of sub-20 degree temperatures, things look like they might take a surprising turn. Today's high will be around 47F. Then we're supposed to have a couple warm days with some RAIN!

Some of you may see where I'm going with this.

Rain washes the salt off the roads.

Clean roads and higher temperatures mean I can take the SVX out!

Of course, since the car is clean, I won't want to drive it unless my road (mud with a few islands of gravel) is dry. It'd be a shame to get it dirty and then watch the temperatures plummet so I couldn't wash it again.

yeah, MI wheather! what's up w/ that! it's supposed to hit 60 this sat, go to 30 on sun, and snow on mon! Bah!!!!!!!

Get the car out while you can. The roads here are pretty good. My svx is my main car, so it gets a wash once a week. Shouldn't get too bad this weekend, keep in mind, we've got that zinc coating

Not everywhere, I don't. My car's original owner got it into a few fender-benders, so there are spots on the body which are unprotected.

I even have three VERY VERY VERY small paint bubbles in the right quarter panel.

And then there's everything ELSE on the car - suspension, brakes, bolts, nuts, etc. Those aren't rust-proofed.

We'll see. I won't take the car out unless the roads are clean of salt, and I doubt that's going to happen this weekend.
