    I don't know about you but I can't wait to hit the streets. Only problem right now is the insane amount of potholes in and around Westchester County, specifically around the River Towns and Scarsdale where I live. I don't mind a pothole here or there as I can maneuver around them (usually) but some of the roads look like minefields. Anyone else noticing this as well?

    I hit the street with the 430 on Monday and I couldn't wait to get home. I hadn't had the car out since December and just went out to gas up. Between dodging 9 million craters and some small puddles it made the drive to stressful. I'll wait.

    I have the itch bad. Horrible winter. I'm going to have to take the 430 out tomorrow afternoon, even if just to drive around the block a couple of times, but I'm nervous. I have a Q7 and even that just wants to curl up in the fetal position after driving on these roads. Good luck everyone!

    I took mine for a ride this morning. I chose a safe route and I kept both eyes on the road in front of me. I managed to avoid a lot of potholes but I will be honest. It was scary. I kept a long distance to the other cars in front of me so I can see the condition of the road and to give me time to react. I was happy that I got to drive my car again but it was stressful. Not a lot of fun.

    I couldn't wait. Thurs & Fri rain washed away some of the salt so Saturday I went for a 40(ish) mile drive. It was nice. Right after the flat spots on the tires gave way :)

    Ive been driving my F430 on some of the warmer days but the potholes and lack of proper repairs on the roads around here are awful.
