Happy New Year
« on: December 31, 2009, 13:24:50 »
Since it has been a month since the last post on this forum, I thought I'd break the ice and wish everyone a happy new year. I have been able to drive my MKIV on the previous 3 January 1sts. Not this year though. We have several inches of slushy snow on the ground and more on the way here in lovely Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. John

Mark IV, the cold is no problem! A couple years ago, on New Years day, I had the car out for a 40 mile drive, top down, when it was 20 degrees F. I just won't take it out when the roads have been salted. If it's dry salt its not so bad, but when the salt is mixed with slushy snow, its a recipe for disaster. It gets all over the underside of the car and corrodes everything it touches. John
