Being in the wonderful state of michigan i had to park my L in november. I don't have a garage at my house, so i had to store it at my parents. They live about 200 miles away, so i have not even seen it in almost 4 months now, since they are in florida. Big question is when should i go get it? I am sick of driving my beater grand prix around. I had my R-6 out a few times already. Think i should wait a few more weeks at least? I don't want it to get ****ty out again and have to sit outside.

=(

I would pick it up whenever the snow usually ends. We're pretty safe here in MD, so now I'm selling my Jeep. Anyone want to buy a 1990 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, 6cyl, 5spd., hardtop, softop, hard doors, 109k miles?

I live in Toronto,Canada...and I drive my "L" all year round, it does no harm to it... we get like 3 feet of snow a week sometimes, if the roads are plowed i'am good to go..
once again it doesn't do any harm to it..as long as you wash the salt off of it

Ya, i think i may run up next week and pick it up. Sucks making payments on it all winter and not driving it.

Not to start flaming but have you ever seen a trucks undercarriage that has been through one winter compared to another that hasnt?Believe me one winter is harder on trucks undernieth than 5 years of no winters.I live right on the coast of the atlantic and no word of a lie,The vechicles that are parked within 1/4 mile from the ocean are completley rotted within 5-6 years compared to just 1 mile inland where its just typical winter weather and they slowly corrode way as bad just not as fast. There is no such thing as just washing the salt off.Its a chemical reaction and it only needs to be on there for a matter of hours to do damage.Dont try to convince me otherwise becuase...........

I took my truck out on DRY roads that were treated with salt prior about 3 times this winter.The day after i took my truck out,My wheels(chrome) already had tiny pits in them from just 1 hour of driving and 12 hours of sitting.Need less to say,I never drove my Lightning after that and I never will in the winter.

Just some facts for ya,Im not bashing but Salt does do great damage even if you try to keep up with it.

 

I drive my L when I can all year long but everytime I go out when it's wet I line up next to some joker in a ricer. Nothing worse then listening to a fart pipe from light to light because you can get no traction at all. Reason enough to stay out of the rain.
