^^Tentatively in...post this on chicagoz too.

with all this rain and no salt.

I may take the whip out on friday.

Count me in. It is etched in my calendar.

I think they laid down some salt this morning :( boo

Awww.. I drive mine daily, rain, shine, snow, sleet, salt. Have winter tires, will drive :)

Nothing wrong with that. For me it's. matter of personal preference,don't want weather related wear/tear

Few years ago, I took out the bike during a nice 50F day in january. Snow was still thawing, salt present, etc. Wiped it down best I could afterwards. During the summer, I started to notice some corrosion on the brake line fittings. Rest of the bike seemed intact.

I wish I had a winter beater. Wouldn't worry about keeping the car clean/salt free.

FWIW, in another week we'll be averaging in the mid 40's+, so it's just around the corner.

With a car there just so many places salt water can get into, I prefer not to worry about it. I originally planned to dd my z and drive it year round but before first winter got my scion. Spring right around the corner= soon all of us will be hitting the roads.:driving:

Either way

Same thing here. Thought about buying a winter set of wheels and tires. Then I found a beater for the money they would have cost, and I'm glad I did. My beater is the poster child for how salt can mess up your car.

another few weeks, i can wait....need one more good wash and i can go for a cruise.

I stored her early NOV, it's been awhile!

I drove my Z today to go to the dealership and get a new Steering Lock Unit installed. As you know, Nissan finally recalled these on RevA and RevB units. The dealership installed RevD. While having the Z out, I decided to go for a little drive..............man it felt great. Lets hope this RevD holds up.

First meet is not that far off. Anyone remember last March at this time? I do. We were in the 60's with a few days hitting 70 and 80F. What a difference a year can make!! Of course, at that time, I did not own my Z yet.

At this point, I'll take upper 40's, 50's would feel just great. It will come.

I remember this time last year quite well. I was breaking the car in, down south, hitting roads like TN129, TN143... I had an expected added surcharge to the trip. A year's time has passed already, so new slate :)

Got mine replaced with a D last year, so far so good.

That is good to hear. Makes me feel better. Like I said, I haven't heard of any RevD's going bad, only A&B's. Hopefully Nissan has worked it out.

You coming to both the meets in April?
