Drove mine today, it was 72 and nary a cloud in the sky.

[BlackCads]

You need some good rainy days and nights to get the salt off the roads.
Can't believe it it was sunny and 50 in Toronto.
Boston has had a very mild winter so far but March can be fickle.
I don't like to take my cars out until I know the snow and salt are gone for the season.

Got 45 mm of rain yesterday.   Best rain for years, and all up and down the East Coast of Australia.   Yes, some parts flooded.

Salt down here is used for the fish'n'chips.

The Caddy will be out shortly, as soon as I have completed the front brakes.

Drive all of mine, rain or shine because my 4 - 70's era cars are all we have. Believe it or not they don't melt in the rain and you could toast marshmallows with their heaters.

  Where ru,,,location. What about salt. Im thinkin here, now they use brine,,,,,what ever that is, but at least its not salt that can get stuck in the tire tread and go up into body.

Brine, by definition,  is a high concentration of salt dissolved in water, from as low as 3.5% salt up to about 25%

Had mine out Monday

   It is salt!  Just in a different form.

The streets appear clear and a forecast of 55 on Sunday - so one of the cars will be coming out of hibernation. As far as my newer cars are concerned the article is correct on the brine solution. The magnesium chloride in the solution reacts with humidity and stays wet on the cars. Fortunately I have hot water in the garage and will thoroughly rinse the cars several times between car washings when the streets are nasty with that stuff.

[Mike Josephic CLC #3877]

Magnesium chloride is added to brine solution
to make it more effective at lower temperatures. 
However, it's hell on brake lines, fuel lines or
any other non coated steel surfaces.

It's more corrosive than plain old salt, so if they
use it in your area flush the underside and wheel
wells throughout the winter.  Or -- use a car wash
that has underbody spray as part of the treatment.

Here in the Philly area we have had a very mild winter with lots of nice days. They only used salt and brine 2-3 times all winter and not for over a month so I’m free and clear to drive any of them. Going to a local Cars and Coffee tomorrow hopefully.

Hope you find your elusive 60 Seville. Mine is gone. I had sellers remorse as it was being loaded up but I know I wouldn’t be able to do all the work involved due to my increased work schedule so it’s better off.

I've had to wash all the sunshine off my 1961 all winter here in central Florida  , now for some spring and summer sun , then back to more winter sun.

[Glaswegian]

I was out 2 days ago as I take every opportunity to do when dry and sunny

[Eric DeVirgilis CLC# 8621]

Conditions are dry but dusty here with plenty of anti skid materials still remaining on road surfaces, resulting in nicks/chips.

Not taking anything out until the street sweepers have been out followed by a good rainstorm.

OK, the So. California report

A week of over 70 and a smidgen of 80+.
Wait, don't get ready to move out here quite yet - 5 days of rain predicted starting Sunday (get it).
OH yes, the weather is screwed up and so is the State (big time) - if I didn't feel so old and lazy, I'd move.

Have fun,
Steve B.

Steve,
That reads like the weather forecast for the San Diego, California area where I am located.  Are we neighbors?

They cover the roadway with gravel (read the rocks up to an inch in size) when we have an ice event here. However there has been an Ice free winter in San Antonio so no rocks just sun.

Go get a couple Molsons and/or go fish'n, that always works for me.  I just plucked one Golden ale from the fridg for supper.   The Big "O" is at your door step.   Lots of tribs around too.   Might be mostly "closed" this time of year?   Probably some trout open.
Toronto's a good place.   My best driving memory, I got passed severely by a loaded Mack tri axle dump truck and I was doing "80"(mph) in the rental car.   401 is a beast - when it's moving.   Hope the Cad is up to 'er.   Unleash that 390!
I also got chased by a german shepherd while out on the lake out of Oakville, early 90s, after work once.   He came from some lake side mansion.   Lady was calling it but did no good.   Kept barking and swimming after me and I kept moving boat out til it got tired and I left. 
O' Canada, haven't been in >15 years.   By my calculations, you got a couple more months of ccccold!
