I feel ya. Another 3 weeks then I'll take it out, probably still can't really drive it for a few more after that though

I can't wait for winter to be done with either. I really want to get back to some regular driving. Done driving it in the snow two winters in this salty hell have turned my front bumper into a chipped mess and rusted my end links. No amount of regular washing can defeat the salt lovers here. Its a fun winter car sure, but I sure don't want it to look like crap years from now. They salt way to much here in Ohio. I could get way with driving it in CO, not here though. My other car can eat that pain, its more so made for it anyways.

I love driving mine in the snow but winters in the maritimes are so hard on cars. They salt the roads more then anywhere else and the temps are consistently changing from cold to warm so that salt water melts into every nook and cranny.

I miss my car so much I have spent at least 15+ hours in the garage, waxing and detailing over and over.

lucky i wish i had a garage. My car is just sitting under the cover that occasionally blows up and i can only imagine if its scratched to shit or not

I waxed the shit out of it before covering it. so hopefully that helps.. i did get a nip slip last time the cover blew up and the car still looks clean.

If it flaps around I'd probably just not cover it

I'm glad I'm not alone....my '97 Ram is doing the trick in the snow but I obsess about getting back into that car everyday.. Hopefully only a few more weeks.. What's worse is I have Pirelli's and XXR 530's waiting in the wings!

it doesnt flap around but when its insanely windy out the front starts to come up. I think its because the cover isn't made to fit over a huge front lip like i have.. its strapped on the sides, and the cover is very tight otherwise. But it struggles to cover the front lip. So i have to kinda stretch it.

I use my Honda Accord for the winter. Why abuse the car i love in the winter? I want to keep my twin MINT and also it's a great feeling to get into a car you love after not driving it all winter and taking it out for that first spin and falling love all over again!
