Who still has their 7 on the road?

I have been bad and havent seen the need to store the car yet this year. I know the salt trucks have been out once or twice (gta) but all this rain is making for some clean roads and I just cant help the occasional weeknight and weekend romp on the dvp/hwy 7

This winter has been outragously nice to us.

Just moved to Waterloo and there is 1/4 foot of snow on everything

I still have my FD on the road but I only take it out when the weather is above 10 and no salt. Drove it about 2 weeks ago.

I'm a bit pissed...After 4.5 years of not driving my car, I put it away Dec. 1 just before the big snow storm. Now, it's been two months of basically fall weather! Stupid ozone layer...

I drove mine a week before christmas. Will not be outside again till april. After the first truck shows up forget about it. Plus its way to dirty out there even if there was no salt.

Beside Haltech is not in the car. Can't drive without it.

My RX-7 was put away back in late October. I don't drive it much anyway and that is when I traditionally put it away. My Mustang however is still technically on the road but I have not driven it yet in 2007. I should have taken it to a work function last night since it was nice out... Today is out since its snowing just a little right now.

there's a black FD I've seen around all the time stays out all year.

a red one I've seen driven in the muck too.


My 7's are now officially put away, the vert went away last night, and there's salt on the roads, so I don't think it's coming back out.
