Anyone else salted in

We've had so much snow in DC last month and they over salted the roads. It's so bad the salt is piled up everywhere. The new car is in the garage under cover waiting for a good rain to rinse the salt off the roads. More snow coming tonight and this weekend. Sigh

E350 Coupe
I'm a retired federal employee but thanks...to BRAC they moved me from Harrisburg PA to Huntsville AL. They don't know about salt down here. You just stay home until sun melts it away.

Same here in NJ. My 2013 E350 cab is kept in the garage and under cover. Probably until the Spring.

Man, I miss my 2013 E350 cab. It's been under cover in my garage for at least a month. Too much snow here. Won't take it out until it's all gone and it's dry

Haven't been able to get close to my Cabo in West Chester for 2 weeks now! Going to pick it up on Monday and return the GLK loaner. Kinda hard to tell what model the loaner is due to the amount of salt caked on it : )

Yeah this is getting old. More snow in the forecast tomorrow. We need a warm up and a couple of days of rain to wash the salt off the roads. I need to drive to Charlottesville for business and was hoping to take the e350 cab on some twisty back roads. I'm hoping for a break in the next couple of weeks. Fingers crossed.

We had some rain to wash off the salt and then it warmed up to the mid 60's over the weekend. Dropped the top and drove to a waterfront place for lunch on the Chesapeake bay. Gotta love the Airscarf! Short lived however, yesterday brought more snow and salt. More coming. Cab is back in the garage.

Taking the E350 Cab out today for a trip. Going to PA where there is snow on the sides and not on the roads ( so I am being told by my wife's nephew). Snow is melting elsewhere due to it being in upper 40's today in NJ and where he is in Milford, PA. I will try to avoid puddles. I hope I don't regret taking it instead of my BMW X3. I am itching to drive it. it's been almost 2 months. I wish I wasn't such a nut.

C207
I've been driving mine all winter, I just wash it every 4 days to get the salt off

With all the nannies this car has, it's probably the best car I've ever owned for winter driving. Almost dummy proof.

EDIT: Dudley we must have similar tastes, I just noticed you have an SC430 and I traded mine in towards the E coupe. I really loved that car, just wish it was faster

I traded the SC for the E350 Cab as well in May 2013. Don't miss it at all.
