What do you guys think. Would I be crazy to take it out for a ride its been in storage and we had snow 2 weeks ago and there is alittle salt at corners of the street. Would it hurt to just go for 15 minutes ride? Roads are bone dry.

 

Do it!

 

i took mine out today.....and it was raining!!

 

Took mine out on Friday, don't tell my insurance company, lol.

 

Took it out, ended up putting about 20 miles on it. I went to the local Ford Dealer and checked out there White Boss its # 3055, I took picture of Vin and Serial plate. My car was parked outside the glass room where the Boss was and my car ended up being a showcase, I had like 5 or more people all walking around it and checking it out. They waited for me to leave and when I started it and had menioned the trackey, they wanted to hear it, For once the Idle actually had a nice lope.
Needless to say they seemed to like it alot

 

I had my Shelby out this past Saturday. It was about 46 F, sunny and dry clean roads

 

When its this warm in our parts (Buffalo, Ontario) We have to take advantage !! LOL
Your not far from me. Alittle over a HR

 

It rained hard here for the first time in forever on Monday. My DD wasnt available so I took my wife to work, picked her up, and even dropped her off at a friend's house so I could have her car and leave the Boss in the garage. She knew better than to think that I was doing her any favors.

 

It's raining here today. Hopefully hard enough to wash away the salt they put on the roads two weeks ago. Then I can take her out when it dries.

 

Salt, did you say salt? Ouch!
But if the road surface is really dry, you should be O.K.
You may get some salt dust on the undercarriage, but without water it won't activate the corrosion process. Then next Spring you can go to car wash that has a good wheel and undercarriage spray and wash that all off ... or drive through a large rain puddle!
My Boss is staying put in the hangar, and is out of sight and out of mind.
When the warm Spring weather starts, then I'll be chomping at the bit again to take it out for a rip.
Cheers,

 

Buffalo Ontario?

 

I am sure he meant Buffalo and Ontario

 

The problem is the salt dust as you have said . It gets into areas that you cant wash out. Also leaving the salt dust on and storing the Boss for winter, it will be exposed to moisture unless it's in a climated controled room. The standard garage will have good amounts of moisture on rainy days. Is it worth the risk ................Hell yes! Even if its a 20 minute drive. There only Brand New Once and thats the day you pick it up from the dealer.

 

I drive mine everyday! Day, night, rain. (No snow here) Just drive it. It may all end tomorrow!

 

According to the Myan's we have until December 21
