    There's snow everywhere! Still, gotta fire up the car and run the systems periodically. Today was the most melt we've had here in Boulder yet, tomorrow things change again back to cold and even some additional snow over the weekend... So I figured there's no better time like the present and so I brought the car out for a 15 mile jaunt around town. I normally wouldn't but the car was overdue to get warmed up and taken out.

    Roads are impressively clear and dry, except for my local neighborhood roads which still have some pack on them! Car ran great. Took a quick photo and thought I'd share.

    Anyone else got any snow pics??? :) :)

    Nice pics!! I have yet to see a 328 in Colorado...

    Bentley Continental GT (Cherry Creek Mall; 12/26)

    Maserati Coupe (3rd & St. Paul; 12/31)

    Haven't seen an F-car in nearly a month, though. :(

    I thought driving a Ferrari in the snow was a Felony.
    I warm mine up every 3 weeks but haven't been able to drive it due to the weather.
    I won't take it out unless the roads are clear of sand, snow and water. (I heard they melt if they get wet)
    A few more 50 degree days and I'll be out there.
    Last year I drove it all winter- no snow.
    I do move it, so as not to get flat spots on the tires, that's about it.
    Maybe I'll take a driveway shot next to the snow.

    Now that you guys have ruined any possible resale value by posting pictures in the snow, I want you to know I stand ready to help. I'll give you each 10K for your cars!

    Shyeah, a 10k PREMIUM maybe 'cause I've shown the world that I run my car regularly and don't let my seals dry out and rot in the winter! How bout that!

    Besides, there was only like 50ft worth of snow! All the other roads were clear. (And no salt either mr. smarty pants.)

    When you're ready to experience the true joy of a roofless sprint through the mountains, where you can actually hear the engine, I will let you borrow the GTS, but again, 10K premium to buy (on top of average FML asking prices).

    About as many attempts as it took the painters to get that shade of "Sparkling Pink Champagnoise" on your 911 juuuuuuust right!

    I think you have been sniffing too much perm solution again.

    No way! Just reverse the polarity on that heater blower motor I see and you've got an instant snowblower! Carve your own path :)

    LOL, sweet! That would work so much better than the snowplow I usually have mounted to the front. Besides, I thought those things were my twin turbos... ;)
