Default Re. S2000 in storage through Chicago winter

I just took the the S2000 for a quick drive around downtown Chicago. The car has been in storage since Nov. 20 th. I almost forgot how fun it is to drive! I didn't really push it too much since there is still alot of salt on the roads. I can't wait to open it up when Spring comes around. For the record it was about 5 below with the windchill. You guys that live out West have it made.

Yeah...it's going to be -30 with windchill on monday morning. When i have to park and then walk to class. I have a GSR to mob daily, so it keeps me entertained. The S2000 is safe in a garage and nestled up. lol im so gay for saying that. I resist temptation every day to drive it. I just got my factory lip..and ordered some advans for it..and when they come in, its going to be insane not to be able to drive it. I wont drive it till the salt is completely off the roads. I dont want any dry salt getting all over it either. Its never been driven in the winter..and the old man that owned it before me never really drove it in the rain either. I drive it in the rain...but i wont f$#k with salt. Cant wait till spring/summertime

I'm in Montreal, and its damn cold the past couple days. I must admit its been a late and mild winter, but the only thing that is holding me back on nice days is the fact that it is not insured over the winter for road use, and only for theft and fire... Thank god or else I would be even more tempted, lol

Offered year round

50 a month but I have a 6 month and 12 month contract that would cost less.

Depending on how deep into chicago you are its anywhere from 1 hours to 2.5.

Ive gotten from my door to skyway in 1.5 hours

Includes car cover
