is it time to bring the ferrari 360 back from hibernation?

Tire traction.

The rest is all up to you. How much dirt are you willing to suffer, salt, road grime. We're clean here in VA now. I assume you're still going to take some grime up there. If you're ready to start washing it, you're ready to start driving it.

Just remember your tires will break traction easier until it gets warmer.

 

360s are tail happy too. I wait for the roads to be cleaned by the respective cities and it be a solid 12-15 everyday. No point in rushing it.

 

Its been a snow free winter here in the south of Sweden and the tepmtation to take of the cover has been hard to resist. But I have made up my mind to just drive it in the warmer months for a couple of reasons namley: I save a lot on insurance and tax since Im not a wealthy f-car owner not to mention gas. It also saves some milage and waiting for something nice can be a sweet pain when you know whats waiting : )

 

The winter here in New England has been mild....I've drivien it quite often since I got it in October....already doubled the miles to 3400....

 

Ya, tire traction is really the only thing that stops me from driving the Ferrari. I'm not really that concerned with dirt/grime/salt. I'll wash it off. But, it's not really fun to drive at 40% the entire time b/c summer tires break loose so quickly in cold weather and poor road conditions. Fortunately, it's been a very mild winter here in the midwest and I've been able to get lots of miles in. I don't believe in hibernating cars in general in my area, but certainly toronto and other places with more constant snow/salt/colder temps is a different story.

 

I make sure there is no salt on the roads.

That's about it.

Temperature doesn't matter...I make plenty of heat!!!!
