(I hope it embeds properly)

 

Sad. My pick-up can do donuts in the snow. Once a Ferrari is treated like that it just becomes any other car in my opinion. You can trick out a gxy Subaru to go faster than a 360 and it even will have all wheel drive but it will still just be a Subaru. Is ending up on a scummy used car lot with an "Aircon" sign on the window really what it deserves?

 

More money than brains.

 

I disagree with the above. Do you really think that turning a few donuts in a snowy parking lot will ruin a Ferrari?

It looks like the OP was having a fun time.

 

I would recommend a better set of snow tires. LOL

 

+1. The EU guys / gals know how to enjoy a car, regardless of the make. Sit outside the Ferrari factory and cars pull up from the surrounding countries looking worse than many econoboxes in the US.

Do a "360" "snow" search in the respective section, and it's far from uncommon.

There are garage queens everywhere, but it's always refreshing to see that these cars are actually 'human'. Unfortunately, I suffer from garage queen syndrome, but wouldn't knock anyone for driving their car to their liking.

 

Looks like one of those "Trail Rated" cars....

 

When I was at the Ferrari factory over Thanksgiving 2010 I watched new Ferraris being test driven in the snow coming back with brown icy crud all over them to later be sold to buyers who will brag that their Ferrari has never been driven in the rain or snow.

 

Looks like hamless fun to me. Don't know why but I love seeing exotics in the snow!

 

I have a Porsche Boxster. I slide everytime I enter a parking garage even though I barely step on the gas and even though my traction control is on.

I also skid my tires when I drive in rain even when I am barely stepping on the gas. It was even worse when I drove the Mercedes SL55 AMG where dry hot pavement was not enough. Every time I lightly touched the gas pedal, the tires start spinning and screech a little.

Police will automatically stop you if they heard your tires screech. They would give you a ticket for reckless driving.

Just keep that in mind if you plan on getting a powerful RWD car.

 

Sounds like you need some fresh tires.

 

True, it's not like he was beating the crap out of it... as for the snow - AHHHHH! MOISTURE! That does it... the car's a worthless rustbucket now. Somebody get his VIN so we can all avoid that car if he ever puts it up for sale.

 

Cars are cars...even Ferraris. More power to someone that has fun with their cars no matter what time of year.

 

I am glad some of you enjoyed it.

I had another go the next morning, it was recorded on a poor quality phone, but as engine was fully warm I could use more of the revs.

It is getting quite mucky.
Sorry about that
...but I have a plan, I'm going to let it get as bad as possible then in spring wash it and post photos of before and after. Then people can make their own minds up if it damages the car or not.

I like the old Ferraris that have battered seats etc. Many people would physically disfigure themselves to have a Ferrari I personally think its disrespectful to own one and not to enjoy them as much as possible! Think of all the lost joy

Does anyone else have a video of snow sliding to share?

 

Only thing missing is the gold chain around his neck.

 

Apparently there is a dress code you need to follow to enjoy your own car now. WTF?

 

What is really sad is your Ferrari sitting the garage unused.

My 360 was in the snow 2 weeks ago (you can search here for pics) but my 360 is also shares daily driver duties with my S2000 and gets out and driven several times a week to work and (oh the horror) grocery shopping too. A 360 is just a car (one of the very best on the road) its not some deity that needs to be prayed to daily, get out and drive it.

 

Patina! I'm now reconsidering getting my seat leather totally refurbished... maybe I'll just clean it up a bit and leave the scratches.

 

Obviously fake: It doesn't snow in England.

Except in Doctor Who Xmas specials.
Oh wait, it's a Sycorax spacecraft breaking up in the atmosphere.
That's not snow. It's ash.

 

Awesome!

Loved it

 

+360

 

Disgraceful!!
Someone enjoying their own hard earned car in a way they choose!! What is the world coming to??

 

Yes, if that ruins a Ferrari then they cost way to much. Now doing that on dry pavement would be another story.

 

Great to see someone enjoying their Ferrari, post more!

The FF guys need to respond to this!

 

Cudos to the OP for having fun with his car in a way he sees fit. Speaking as an FF owner, we find it difficult to do donuts on the ice and snow: the darn car keeps going where we point it! But we'll keep trying.
