Time to bring out of storage...or not?

Anyone in the GTA area brought their car out of winter storage yet? I usually wait for the street sweepers to clean up first,want to avoid salt residue and stones, but itching this year to get her out!

I'm with you. I wait for a good rainfall to get rid of all the salt and sand first. The snow last Sunday didn't help.

365 +1
Not sure about rust or corrosion. Washed the car every 1-2 week.

I agree with Bradford. Just drive the damn car.

People acting like it's an exotic car...it's a damn Chebby.

You spent lots of money on it...just enjoy it.

Nice Hand Wash planned for this weekend. Some paint cleaning perhaps.
Wheels should be powered coated by tomorrow I hope.
Another week or so before I install. Still a few cold days coming.

I never understood babying these vehicles. They're meant to be driven and enjoyed!

Much more value is lost from deprecation than from chips and miles.

They cost too much to let sit for 6 months, especially if you cycle through cars every few years, then all you're doing is saving it for the next guy. I drove my Charger SRT 392 all year long and I'll drive my 1LE year round as well. A guy in my condo drives his Mclaren in the winter when the roads are clear, which is almost always in the GTA.



Up north I wouldn't drive them though, I don't think you physically could due to the amount of snow and the low front fascia
