i cant believe that people would actually debate that driving a ferrari 458 italia in the winter is not a stupid idea.

If you were driving beside a salt truck and it was shooting chunks of salt at your door... regardless of how much money you make, if you dont cringe and possibly cry..................... then your just a ****** moron lol

I hope the owners of such cars preserve the history of such beautiful vehicles by treating them with respect I.E not driving them in Canadian winters.

I totally agree. Even if you made a million a year there is no way you would get any sort of enjoyment of driving an exotic car in the winter. Buy a 100k suv or something like that. It's funny cause there are a bunch of you who have the money to drive the S in the winter but you don't, But If you had the money for an exotic car you would drive it in the winter. I call BS. Most of the guys on here that drive their S in the winter is because they want a nice car but can't afford to NOT drive it in the winter.

Hehe HEY... I chose to drive all 3 of my S2000's in the winter... by choice

I do agree though, most guys buy cars they cannot afford and HAVE to drive them.

Cars now adays are built to withstand harsh climates. Guys in europe drive their R8's, lamborghini's and Porsche's through the most brutal winters. The big difference is we have salt here....

To add to that point, salt only really affects the cars integrity when the temperature warms and it reacts with the metal. A nice once a week power wash can fix this.

I say if you have the money, enjoy the car how ever you'd like...garaged and driven on sundays or everyday use
