    Nice weather we are having in the DC area today...that's my F430 under cover. Eight inches so far and another 8" predicted. Guess I should have ordered the plow attachment, eh?

    I know it rarely snows - and it is a very cool picture - I hear the North Pole has car covers!

    I used a car cover on my 355....all it did was scratch the paint. Better to just leave her naked and let the snow melt.

    Here she is ninety minutes later....it's coming down at the rate of over an inch an hour right now....nothing compared to when I lived in central Massachusetts as a teenager, but pretty extreme for the DC area.

    You guys should see this thread in the 348/355 section:


    Some nice pictures of a 348 Spider in the snow. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Holy sheep sh*t. You park it outside? Now dust that badboy off and take 'er for a "spin". LOL!! Damn, wish it'd snow like that here.

    YOU ARE OUT. Out of the Ferrari owner's club.

    This should be illegal; car porn!

    There's a setting on the Manettino for those conditions! Let us know how that works out :D

    I was raised in Ct, lived in Ma. and this is why I've lived in Cali for the last 22 years. It was a moment, not unlike this one, years ago, with my 911 Turbo which pushed me over the edge.

    Hope it thaws out quickly

    Hmmm, good thing they are not made out of sugar. My only concern would be the weight on those thin aluminum panels, that's a lot of snow!

    OK, I just got rushed to the hospital after seeing that photo. My heart stopped. You should be driving a lambo! Real Ferrari drivers would never let their rolloing piece of art out in the snow.

    I don't know if I will ever recover after seeing that poor F car!

    Please refrain from posting pictures like that in the future. Or, at least post a health warning.

    I cannot believe there is nowhere in DC you could store that baby in a warm garage away from that ^%&$^ crap coming down.

    I really feel sorry for you.

    As long as you do not move it, you can still say never driven in the snow :)

    That poor f-car. We get boat loads of snow in Utah but mine is staying warm in the garage with the battery tender on for the winter.

    Funny - one of my trips to Maranello was in the 3rd week of December, just before factory shutdown. A highlight was seeing the cars being road tested in the snow knowing that most of the owners would never dream of doing so! Certainly helped me appreciate that these are real cars. Good on ya!
