Driving a 360 in snow (with video)

Hello all,

So this is the families third go around with Ferrari. We've (me and my father) have had a 1983 308gtsi (1993-2004) and a 1998 F355 (new-2002). I am an attorney, he is a financial consultant. Being Italian (and having lived there previously) our favorite cars were always Ferrari's. Since 2004, it has been more of a "quantity over quality" mindset with some vettes, vintage mustangs, packards, off road trucks, and my personal newest kick, direct injected turbo cars (the way off the future).

But, all boys eventually run home to mama, and a 360 spider 6 speed with 8389 miles is now sitting in our garage, woohoo! Let me tell you, it is quite the departure from the F355 we had, it feels like its twice as big. It sits in the garage next to my 68 mustang, and my cobalt track car, and its nearly as wide as both of them combined. But getting it there was a bit of a trick......

Backstory:

I go to the local chevy dealer to see the salesmen who sold me my silverado ltz a few months ago, to put a deposit on the new vette. Unfortunately, the cars wont hit the street until september at the earliest. Just in time to miss the race season / warm weather. Bummer. Literally walking out, A call comes in from our friend who runs the Ferrari dealership. A gem is in, a great deal is made, and it would be delivered that weekend. Well two snow storms a few weeks go by before its able to happen. But, a fluke storm is moving in. If the driver is on time, there won't be an issue, since where its going is on top of a hill. Naturally, he is almost 2 hours late, and the snow storm is early. On arrival he refused to try the hill (May or may not have been a bad idea)

So here we are, going up a steep hill, in a snow storm, in a 360 spyder. I threw this video together quick. "TheProject" is a local car club, just getting their youtube channel up.

The car has the challenge aftermarket exhaust from Ferrari put on before we took delivery, the stock sounded meh, and the 355 and 308 both had tubi's on it. Minus almost getting stuck, it was fun!
