Bought the car in March of 02, used to get inspected every March till one year we had lots of late snow. Now inspection is done in April but if I'm lucky the car will be out in March. Hopefully the ground hog is right and we have an early spring.

I pulled it out during the ice storm on Wednesday since I was afraid the barn would collapse. I put it back in on Wednesday after the storm had passed and the barn remained standing. I may pull it out again tomorrow if we get ice or heavy snow. Otherwise April 15 is my usual target, and that also depends on whether the street sweepers have been by at least once.

Mid April, usually a week before the Dragon to make sure all is well prior to the 2000 mile trek.

Depends on when all the salt is washed off the roads.

Last year I think I was back on the road by mid-March. Other years I haven't been back driving the S till late April.
That's the big one for me: snow melted and a couple of heavy rains to remove the salt from the roads. That stuff just eats cars; I'd rather miss a few drives each spring than sling a bunch of corrosive junk up under the fenders.

Mid April is typical. Depends on when the first good rain comes and washes the salt away.
Same here.
