It's the first time in more than 3 months I can even see the grass in my yard again.
Today was clear and above 50 degrees so I drove it to work..went for a drive on my lunch hour and went and washed it after work and then came home and detailed it completely.
Hope it doesn't need to sit in the garage much anymore because my drive today was a blast and I'm ready to take it out again but over the next 7 days the forecast is rain/snow showers and back in the 30's and 40's so it's back inside for at least a week 
Gary: I really feel for you and others who are unable to experience the Crossfire drive on a daily basisdue to the bad weather(in your case, snow). I'm fortunate to be able to drive mine all the time (here in Myrtle Beach SC, we've only had 1/4 inch all winter). Keep in mind that you will be in a position to "drive the wheels off" at the Dragon in April...man am I ready to go!!!...Carl
