I'm pretty sure he's in VA, just next door to me.

No front license plate (tag) is living dangerously in Virginia!

Locals here in Richmond are constantly warning about Black Ice. Too cold for my S2000 even here right now.

Yeah...it's been really cold the past week (hitting 12 tomorrow) and I put the s away for the winter yesterday. Perfect timing because we got about 3" overnight.

The s2k that went off road looks to be from VA. PA doesn't have those ugly centered inspection stickers.

Well...its a car. So, you wouldn't see any problems. Idk if anyone is saying there will be problems. Besides that bolts are likely to be rusted stuck and the chassis will rust from salt. There's no way around the latter.

Maybe you just didn't have occasion to remove any bolts from under the car? Because its pretty well documented that certain bolts get stuck on these cars...even after very light exposure to salt.

Also...do y'all get enough snow to determine whether something is a "snow beast"?
