Do folks in Nebraska use winter tires? I have an offer to move to Omaha with significant room for growth in a position I actually want to be in, at my current pay.

Yea I just wanted to get the cover off so I could run it without all the hassle of untarping.
I took it for a few laps out on Rt. 22. Salt is clear there.
Washed my truck today and on the way home I had to drive a couple extra miles to avoid the on ramp to 78 where the melt from the curb line was sheeting across the road.
the Camaro is going to be a daily driver. Going to get dirty soon enough. I am considering a beater to keep it out of the salt next year too.

In my wet dreams the price of road salt goes up by 10000% and the state just abandons salting completely; instead, they properly plow off all the snow, and NJ drivers voluntarily sign up for snow driving lessons, after which accident rates remain unchanged or even drop and everyone is happier.

You might have to dream you are back in the early 70's too while your at it!

Im the director of a department and maintain 2 municipalities roads.
I use as little salt as I can possibly get away with. Only dangerous hills and intersections get salted regularly. If a big storm or icy storm is beginning I salt more to reduce the bond of ice to blacktop.
But I drive on State and County roads.... They have millions of dollars in salt and their not afraid to use it.
My guys are all Harley.... truck... or hotrod guys... And we get pissed when we see all this salt being put down when we arent even thinking about it.

Time was if you got stuck or had an accident and you didnt have proper snow tires, you could be ticketed.
Then came radial tires... front drive crap boxes... and "all seasons tires"... and suddenly no one can drive in the snow. They call and complain when there is snow on the road... they want wet black right through a storm... And politicians just try to appease them.
Salt is put down in anticipation of a hazard. Not as the result of a hazard. Often the hazard never appears. But no one wants to feel responsible for not salting that results in an accident. Even if its the result of incompetent driving.

Picked her up from the body shop today! She looks better than before the incident.

Can’t wait to take her on some drives this weekend.

Speaking of intake, got my car flashed with the GM CAI tune today. The dealer doesn't seem too familiar with the subject but they figured it out pretty quickly. No charge to me, as expected.

The car seems to be a bit more lively with the intake.

Did you just make a service appointment and let them know what you needed? How long did it take?

Did it affect the exhaust burble?
