In my town, they've been removing the rock chips now for a few days.
Just need a good rain to wash any leftover salt away.

I'm with you Ed! I wait for one good rain after the rocks are mostly removed from the streets. This year seems like spring might come early. I have a crap load of upgrades I am needing to do some shake down runs on.

I brought mine out last week. Nice rainstorm to wipe the road clean of the salt and the 626 wouldn't start so ... I figured it was a good excuse

Now I just need to do a good wash on both cars. If only I could wash them in the apartment buildings garage. >_<x

Sadly my 7 was my winter beater for at least half the winter. I've been lucky to replace it with a free VW Golf my grandmother gave me when she quit driving.

I sneaked my 7 out last Tuesday, for a little jaunt on neighbourhood roads and nearby freeway that are already swept, and was sorely tempted again this weekend. But yet another stone chip in my daily driver's windshield on Friday reminded me why that would be a bad idea.
