Not quite! It's a nice sunny day in the GTA today so obviously your car is in the company parking lot right?

Need a few days of rain to wash the remaining snow and salt off the roads. I am hoping for April 1st.

Mine does not come out until all salt on the roads is gone, around the end of April. Then I will tint and bra her. On nice days like this it is just killing me, especially when I see others out!

I have no idea how you drive these cars in the winter. I tried to move mine from my garage to my shop with just two inches of snow on the ground. It is only a very slight grade, but even easing the clutch out with no throttle, the tires just spun. Had to put down sand, just to get enough traction to get it into my shop.

I want a few constant washings, from Mother Nature, of road salt residue before mine comes out.
Not to mention that insurance doesn't take effect until early May. That can always be moved up, without any problem, just like last year, my car came out a month early.

When I see days like today, it makes me want to strip off the car cover, and get 'er prepared for the driving season. However, if it's not ready to hit the road, it'll stay covered up for a while longer.
