Well....the awd on these cars were meant for better traction on the track but yea I guess you could go 4 wheelin with it...lol... on another note I don't have a Lambo to drive in the summer let alone winter so good for him.

I wonder how long until someone slides into him but he has awd and alot of hp so he will get out of the way fast...maybe...

Never sees rain? That's pretty intense.

I think it's awesome to see someone driving their expensive vehicle all the time, despite its book value. They didn't buy it to have it rot in a garage. More time with that permagrin you V8 owners are yapping about all the time. More is still more, right?

I got my car washed the other day for the first time in almost 60 days. By time I got it home it was literally coated in road salt again. For all you know, this car was only on the road for that one day. That's why it was 60 days and not 2-3 weeks like I usually try to. Just throwing good money out the window.

Maybe their Mercedes is in the shop.
Thats all fine and good there guy...your car your choice. However, SOME of us take pride in our vehicles regardless of what it cost or if its mass produced or whatever and we make sure its in a pristine condition as often as possible. I wash my car just like i wash my A$$, as often as possible.....nobody likes a dirty A$$ car....except maybe someone with a dirty A$$ with Dirty A$$ tendencies...LOL! I think how you maintain your stuff is a direct reflection of how you maintain yourself...thats just MY 10Cents.

If you can afford to buy one, replace one, than why not?

My Camaro will never be driven in the winter just because the car means a lot to me. But I guarantee you my next car, whether it is an R8 or GTR will be driven in the winter. Although Ill be getting a season wash pass, so at least it will be shiny for all the haters lol
