So yeah, when are you guys planning to take her out?

Already booked 16th of march off for the car (quebec law for winter tire until march 15)

Think it's possible?

Insurance goes back on automatically on Apr 1 for me. Whether the car sees the outside of the work shop that day depends on how clear and salt free the roads are.

I saw a guy in a silver S2k w/ a black Mugen hard top on March road this AM. The car was coated in salt spray. Made me cringe a little.

Sure the weather might be super nice in march, but do you really want to take out the car you stored all winter ?

I bought my first s2k in early march, took it out on sunny days, next thing you know, you're following a bus and you get sandblasted by all the debris/stones.

On a black car it's even worst, the stonechips are white-ish and you end up crying when you come home

be patient, it's worth it ! else you might as well just drive it now

haha, i'm with rich... as soon as the street cleaners are out and the roads look half descent...

i've always parked one of my babies in the winter time, and i always get restless come spring.

That first ride, even if the roads are not perfect... SOOOO worth it.

just my 2 cents

daily driver all year round.
look for the yellow salty dog in the west end.
VTEC in minus 30, top down in minus 20...life's too short to worry.
we're taking becky ice fishing this saturday.
nice thing about the S, all of my mods will fit on BECKY2.
i bought my S to enjoy year round. i understand why you guys park yours. if my S was rare, limited and really expensive, yeah I''d park her.
it's a lot of fun putting her sideways without burning through any tread.
my countdown to driving my S is hours. only 7 hours till she's back in the salt again.
