    hi guy my name is adamo and I live in Toronto . As you're aware the weather really gets cold here but we dont get that much snow.

    So here is the situation -a few days ago I went to the gym and it got so cold that the door would not open and close.. and if it doesnt close the car wont go... so what I did is I put it in gear one quickly and pressed on the gas. It got me to my house and the doors are working right now however when I turned off the car I forgot to put it back in neutral , so When I went back today to start my 360 it would not move from gear 1..so therefore I can't start it ..I tryed putting it back to neutral and it woudln't go.. I even restarted the car.. it woudn't move...
    could it be the real cold weather , what should I do?


    please help.

    If I understand your post correctly your car is in first gear and won't go into neutral so it won't start.

    If you have the F1 transmission, press down on the *brake* pedal hard while you pull back on the paddles. That should put it into neutral.

    Try that and report back

    How cold is it. If its so cold that everything freezes in the car, you need to move.

    please see the "warming up the car in the winter" thread

    Seems like Ferrari didn't really design these cars to drive in cold weather
