Lambo - Excellent Winter Car

This picture is from a few years ago, taken at my office. A guy working in another office apparently had enough to afford the Lambo, just not another DD for the winter. This is one of my favorite pictures, glad I found it.

That car was not driven to that spot. Its just a pretty background but the car is too clean. This on the other hand...





And I dont care what it is, to someone, its JUST A CAR! Google search "lamborghini in snow"... lots of results. Some really cool pics too.

Absolutely was. He would always be up at the Dunkin Donuts down the street from the office, sitting near the window, watching people look at his car. Drove it all winter.

I checked out the google search, some crazy pictures. I hear what you're saying, it is just a car. I freaked having to drive the Camaro during the winter here. I just really liked the picture, found it while going through my pictures on my work computer, and figured I would share.

I like it. Check Ferrari in snow too... There is a black enzo split in half from crashing in the snow. With the looks of the trees (palm) it is somewhere that doesnt get snow too often!

My Camaro has never seen snow, rain about 5 times tops! LOL

If its AWD, all it needs is a good set of winter tires.

that and one issue would be depth of snow. We had a leased 1995 Corvette and used it year round on Ohio, it was fine untill the snow got over 6-8" Then the front air dam under the bumper just plowed it...

Yea, I drove my 3rd gen yr round long as the snow wasn't to deep, but the V6 and stick with good tires just made it to much fun. [still be out passing slow folks]

With the power of a lambo, without AWD I don't see it working to well, I don't think you can float the cluth like a truck in one of those???

I like the one of the guys trying to pull the black Ferrari through the snow.

Unfortunately I bought my Camaro at the beginning of December, during the first snow fall, and drove it through the winter. Had enough white knuckle days that I am getting a beater for next winter so I can just garage it.

Look below the driver side door. There is snow on it.

And don't forget, grey and silver hide dirt and snow very well.

LOL. You should've seen the folks in Malibu a couple of years ago. Benz's and Bimmers crashing everywhere. Not to mention a couple of high end italian cars.
