    Well the roads are wet and the snow is still on the ground, but the rain washed the salt away so my dad and I just couldn't resist....

    Chase- Great idea. Just make sure the tires get warm before applying too much torque or cornering force.

    Yea, same conditions here in Massachusetts, BUT the potholes are everywhere. Not a chance of taking my car out right now. Plus it is still too cold. Cold tires, cold roads and cold ambient temps are a recepie for trouble.

    Yeah, we made sure we warmed her up and kept the revs down while driving, so we didn't have any issues. We got the car in November so we haven't had much seat time in it yet so we are both a little hesitant to open her up.

    Good for you. Potholes in Long Island makes most roads impassible in anything but an SUV. Taking out the GTO now just guarantees me a broken rim !

    I thought it was milder there. I didn't think you would have as much of a problem with potholes.

    No BS, LI/NYC area roads are literally like a war zone. I have never ever seen it this bad before. On some roads the potholes are so deep that its a miracle that actual sinkholes haven't formed. Bad bad bad.

    Glad you got the beast out. Surprisingly nice turn in the weather this past week in NE Ohio. Can't wait to see it at some events this year!

    It was beautiful this past weekend, and we will be taking this car to a lot of events so I'm sure we will run into each other.

    Cannot go ANYWHERE w/o risking damage to any car less than 6" ground clearance.
    Weather finally clearing, yet now must wait for road crews to repair...given state budgets being busted, little to no chance of fixing soon. Just might as well sell the damn car!
