Never Winter Driven???
 

Took this snap on my daily commute to work this morning.

Temperature was -15C and as you can see, in my city (Ottawa) we use a lot of SALT on the roads. Not sure what this guy was thinking???

It is AWD.

He was probably thinking...

"At least I'm smart enough to not drive one of those death trap Smart Fortwo things"

;) :D :cheers:

Good eye! Yes, I do drive that death trap everyday to work!

MAYBE he is selling it and taking his last drive in it....
or His company is downsizing ...car has to go...his last drive

If you can afford to drive it year round, why not? If I had a Lambo I would drive it every freakin day!

+1. If I could afford it, I'd do the same thing. It must be hard to get all seasons or winter tires in sizes that will fit that car though.

New 4WD Ferrari - in the snow! :cheers:

I understand there is very little ferrous metal in that machine, so should one really be worried about the salt? I live in a warm climate, so that is a serious question.

I'd like to shake this guys hand for not being a fair weather pussy.. If he has the $ to own one, he prolly has enough to buy another..... and they do make more of them everyday

ive seen him a few weeks ago on the road, i wouldnt drive it in the winter.

The aluminum, stainless steel and rubber parts will all corrode/dry out/degrade with the salty winter driving. It's certainly not good for the car to drive around in a salt bath, but if he doesn't care, more power to him.

If you look at the underside of a Boxster that's driven in the winter compared to one that isn't, there's a pretty noticeable difference.

They reported on the radio (Team 1200) that the car belongs to the former Ottawa Senators goalie coach. Apparently he is in town training Ray Emery for an attempted return to the NHL.
