Almost time for a drive!

I wonder if car manufacturers developed that stuff. Sounds nasty.

That's why I recommended using Boeshield on them. It's a wax based spray that coats what you spray it on to protect it from corrosion. Boeing (hence the "boe" in the name) developed it for aircraft.

The Boxster isn't that low. I've driven in snow deep enough that my car left a clear "track" from the bottom of the chassis. I was on summer tires at the time too. Driving carefully is all it takes.

I've done that in a Mountaineer, several times this year, that spray wax sounds like it would be great for the Fiat to keep it rust free.

Wow Mike, that's surprising, what summer tires? I couldn't get out of my drive in 1" of snow on PSII's ! (slight uphill)

My insurance kicks back in April 6th, so pumped! Have to fix the convertible top and some scratches but I'm so excited to be driving my baby on the road again! I hate Canadian winters but all the snow is just about gone.
