    Got some snow today, hopefully won't last too long. The 599 HGTE was my daily in 2011 and I'm looking forward to another great year in 2012. Hopefully the winter won't last too long. Such a great car. Goodnight and Sleep fast.

    What do you use as a daily when snow keeps the HGTE inside?

    A new one, or something older and restored? Knowing you, I wouldn't be surprised if that was an actual photo.

    I wish this was me in an actual photo, I have a newer one. My "hard card" expired about 5 years ago.

    badass confirmation #1: you use a military parachute to cover the 599.

    badass confirmation #2: you have a Defender. 90? 110? I love those trucks. drive over a Prius for me :)

    How about that parachute- are you satisfied with using it as a car cover? Did you buy it used or a new one? If you could go back and do it all over again, would it still be a parachute or would you get something else?

    The HGTE is awesome! :)

    I use a parachute because when I was a kid, my best friends dad had an army parachute covering his Porsche 911 back in the 80's. He was a mentor of mine and a very successful businessman at Xerox as well as a veteran of the 82nd Airborne. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I joined the army because of him.
