Default 2016 Driving Season

My car has been garaged since Xmas.
I was hoping to have it on the road by now but the weather here hasn't cooperated. With a high of 28 called for sunday it looks like it may be another week or so for me. Last year my S didn't get out till April 29th, so anything before then will be a bonus.....then again I remember back in the day always having it on the road in March.
So, is your's out yet?

Still under wraps. 3 to 5 inches called for on Monday. But it will be driven soon.

Got to drive mine twice this week. Unfortunately, like A2, we are getting measurable snow Sunday and Monday. Looks like it'll be parked for another week or two, as I'm sure the DOT will salt the crap out of the roads again.

Still in the barn. Having a hard time getting organized.

We're supposed to be on track next Friday.

I had considered bringing it out of hibernation last weekend, but for a couple of reasons, I did not. Not regretting it now seeing the upcoming forecast. Looking like at last another 2 weeks before I can think about firing it up, since next weekend's forecast is calling for snow as well.

4-6 expected here between Sunday night and Tuesday morning.

...and we just had the street sweepers clean the streets in my neighborhood only to
have them most likely dump more $h1t on the roads.

So who knows when mine will be out...was hoping for maybe next Friday (I have the day
off) but looks like that is out given the forecast.
