No problem starting...shoveled to it, brushed off some snow and it fired right up (as it always does  :y)!  But with 20 inches of snow and multiple-foot high drifts, well..

No, my issues are with other drivers and salt.  This is an ex-Florida car with 46,000 miles on the clock...won't subject it to that, no sir...

That's what the Daewoo is for...



Ah,  wishing for warm, dry days..



Best,

Marvin

Thanks, all.

Love the Catera...not a mark on it and the interior is as neat as the outside.

Small world...I drive down Euclid Ave in Arlington Hts (and past the horse track) everyday on my way to work ;D.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Best,

Marvin

Indeed small world!! I remember driving past that track in my crappy rental car, a Chevvy Malibu  ;D

You must also drive past that budget rental place & bike shop? Think one time they had a Mustang on show, they lived just off one of the roads down there  :y

I hate you...

Only have a one-car garage, Mazda inside, Catera ouside :'(

I planned ahead, though...I work at Abt in Glenview, so I stayed nice and warm right next door at the Wyndham!

Glad I wasn't in downtown Chicago on Tuesday   :o
