    A snow squall hit on the way from taking my daughter to school. There was a wonderful cloud of snow behind the FF, way cool, not so cool for those going the other way. I had it in Snow mode and in automatic (only use Auto when in snow) doing about 55 mph. I start off by mashing the accelerator about 50% and the FF just starts going. Next time I will shoot the video horizontal :)

    It is GREAT fun :D. My daughter doesn't like it when I slide it down the road.

    Whoever thought we would see the day when a Ferrari would be driven in the snow! In addition to an AWD Ferrari with 7 year warranty. What is this world coming to?

    Got it last October and probably will get its first "free :D" oil change next month as it has 10,000+ miles today.

    And thanks for the interior comment, I never would have ordered that but if I replace this one I will take the same interior colors! I do have to clean the driver's seat every couple months from blue jean stains.

    Rick,

    Thank you for posting - I can't believe how well the FF does in the snow! Also, your interior is beautiful.

    Love it! What tires were you using?

    I assume the TCS set in Snow mode does lots of monitoring and correcting in such low-traction conditions, but the first line of defense in that weather is your ultimate deciding factor: grip.

    Time for reeducation. My two year old can't get enough of it. :D

    Good to see you enjoying the FF like it was meant to be enjoyed.

    SottoZeros, and they really stick to snow! PZeros would be very dangerous, I know from my California experience.

    have u figured out how to turn the front air bag off? when i have all 3 kids i use the ferrari booster in the front. whether i put my oldes or my youngers, 82 pounds and 40 pounds, respectively i dont ever see the front airbag light go on. obviously i keep the little guy in the back all the time but for test pruposes i wasnt able to activate the airbag light with either kid. im assuming with the older kid the 82 pounds plus the seat is above the weight limit for the airbag.

    sorry to hijack the thread.

    hit 9K miles today!
