    cool - you win. although would be more impressive if the tire tracks showed more than out and in :). I've got a slight grade to my driveway, and wouldn't dare try it.

    I gave my new Microsoft ice scraper a work out this morning. It has all the bells and whistles (the padded rubber handle, the rubber bladed to squeegee the window, and a few other). But first heavy use it snapped in half! ha ha :( Guess I'll have to wait for the Vista version.

    Although today is a beautiful day for driving, there is so much salt, ice patches, and pot holes out on the roads for the LP to go out. I did manage a few pictures just outside the garage. Here's one more...

    Don't worry, you're not alone. Even Ferrari owners get left out... I suppose just because I own a 308, means I can't afford a $400,000 car and therefore not worthy enough to get invited (at least when Brian Jessel ran the place, I got lots of invitations to these kind-of events).

    :)

    They were open 24 HOURS from the 12th -14th, but they close today at 9pm. But all their tickets yesterday and today are sold out, you should ask and see if there are any still available.

    Sir....

    Your car looks FANTASTIC in the snow. I wish I could see more of these exotics pictured in such beauty. Thank you for sharing.

    looks good Phil - and don't kid yourself, I bet your Fiero GT is one of very few rear engined sports cars on the road this week. Love the low profile tires with high performance tread in the snow :)

    (the tread pattern in the snow from your rear wheels and in the snow in front of your car is a hoot!).

    I rcvd an invite for an 599 event from FoO last year, but nothing from FMoV.

    I really should not have been on the road with my tires and wheels...but it was a Fiero meet that I wanted to attend. It took me about 30mins to get up my street with help from my friend. The ice is brutal! It's gonna stay parked now until the weather gets nicer.



    I assume only people with a newer Ferrari get invites to the new exotic unveilings. As Peter stated above...just because people dont have a newer more expensive Ferrari, doesnt mean they cant afford to buy it if they wanted to.

    Years back I had a modified Mustang with high performance wheels and tires (for the day). I got pulled over - and directed down a very snow filled side street. I know I passed the cruiser - but I was only 5-10km/h over - he disagreed. Anyhoo - I was stuck, and he got me there. We spent 30 minutes digging me out and he flagged down a front-end loader to clear the road for me. After swapping car stories while we were digging away. :D

    In this case, FMoV assumptions are correct - I can't afford a 599! Although was good of FoO to send the MC12 and 599 invites (I bought my car through FoO, back when FMoV was restaffing).
