    The visible portion of my F430 after about three feet of snow in the last week. We were stuck in Florida due to lots of canceled flights and now i wish we were still there. This is what it looks like after two full days of melting.....

    Most snow ever in DC and we aren't at the end of winter yet.....swell.

    Sigh.....

    Had to push the car out of the garage over the weekend so to make temporary room.

    Would never drive it in this weather!

    Cheers - DM

    I thought only I drove a Ferrari on snow and ice.

    Will try to dig out some photographs to include recent ones.

    Car: Mondial t cab
    Tires: Mich Pilot Sport

    Rock Stable on snow and ice. Will not outperform a Jeep, but will do better than most cars.

    Once driving from Salt Lake City to Denver hit an unexpected storm. Virtually the only one on the Interstate. At one point, crossed a bridge. A car had slide off, but the Ferrari was rock stable.

    Decided to see what it would do. Keep inching it up. When the speedometer showed 130, I chickened out and slowed down. However, at 130 it was rock stable on ice and also snow.

    An amazing car.

    Trying to get a good balance between a semi-daily driver and keeping it looking like new.
    Not where I want to be with it, but getting there.

    Any one that has lots of bristle brushes:) I'm kidding. It hasn't seen the light of day for months. Just warmed her up today in the drive.
