Dilemma! Looking for opinions.
So we've had an exceptionally cold winter this year and finally have gotten a break in the temp for a few days, the cars been sitting in the garage since November it's about 50 out today, I'm dying to take it out but am having reservations because of road salt and such. My question is if I should just say screw it and enjoy it for a couple days to tide me over of keep it where it is?

If you're worried about salt then wait till after it rains for a day. Salt on the roads will wash away and you will be able to drive on salt-free roads
It also depends on the last time they salted the roads. If you said it's been better weather for a few days then maybe the salt wore off the roads. |

Drive it so fast that the salt won't have a chance to even get on it. That's my plan.

One thing you forgot to consider. Potholes.
Watch out for the pot holes. They are eating cars here in NJ. I saw on tv that Indiana is brutal. |

If the roads are dry, even with salt on them, go for it! It's the wet salty roads that require a thorough wash afterwards.
