    Hello everyone, I live in Nova Scotia Canada and I am trying to decide whether to buy the 458 spider or the Aventador. However I am afraid the roads here are not fit for such low cars. The only "supercar" in my town amungst the wealthy is a Ferrari California and I am afraid that is because others are unfit. Does anyone else have any experience in this area or have any input? Should I opt for a higher car such as the ff and sacrifice the fun and looks of the supercars?

    Thanks in advance!

    Having lived in the east coast for many years, the only three options are a 15 year old Corolla or a 5 year old jeep, or a 9 year old Subaru, all worth the same value. Used to live by Porter Lake and commute to Halifax. Man I miss the lobsters and the harbour area.

    Interesting consideration...can regular paved roads be too much for a F-Car?
    I did not find them so much more difficult than the rough parts in Quebec and New Brunswick...so mine survived ;-)

    cheers

    That is an old belief. My 1990 Corvette is much worse than my two Ferraris and you see those vettes anywhere.

    Believe me there CAN'T be a rougher road than where my friend live and we drive to his place all the time even with his Diablo. Adjust your speed to the road.

    Freeskier,

    I drive a lowered 997.2 C4S and have not had any problems with Nova Scotia roads. What are you currently driving?
