    Took the 360 for a spin today, nice and sunny, Great!

    Fresh tank of gas.

    Going to beach, top down, entering the park and BAM! goes the nose.

    Ohhhh, been driving the SUV, forgot about how low this.

    Luckily the 360 has that matte black underside that makes it less painful.

    Drove home much more conscious of the pavement.

    It's good that you were able to get out. It's still cold (by our standards) and rainy today and there is a forecast of rain for the weekend too, just to add insult to injury. This is the worst winter in the 10 yrs I've been in so fla.

    Watch those dips.

    I hear you. I finally took my 360 spider out this week when the temps got into the 80's here. She had not been out for a while, becasue it has been so cold (as low as mid 60's at times) and raining so far this year. I only like to take her out with the top down, and in fact have never driver her with the top up, so it has to be at least above 70 and clear for that and preferably above 75. 65 don't cut it. Damnn freezing cold winter!

    BTW. I am a fellow attorney and motorcycle racer (former anyway) and have owned several Ducs.

    Jackmb1 - There are pictures of the car on my profile page.

    The underside of the nose has several small scrapes in it. You have to lay underneath the car to see them. They really don't bother me, I'll let them accumulate for a few years then I'll have them fixed. I think it's purely cosmetic but basically invisible unless you go looking for it.

    Does anyone know if these scrapes can cause any further damage or impact the car in any other way? I can't see how they would....

    Had the Harley out today, I know, Harleys are for losers and they suck (sarcasm), but my "rat" bike is a 2002 Sportster with intake, pipes, windscreen. I leave it outside, nice and convenient, so I can drive it without any hassle. Love the weather in NYC right now, nice and sunny, not too hot. Too bad there are craters, potholes, and standing water everywhere.

    Left the S2K CR roof at home yesterday and today, maybe tomorrow. Between games this afternoon, I think I'll go on a business trip to the other end of the county. Every minute in an open roadster is a treasure. I don't understand coupe guys!
