Know the feeling. My commute is 5 miles, 9 hills and 17 corners. Sometimes I follow a white 356 speedster, sometimes I'm in front of a red C6.

Leaves give it good flavor.

I cant understand why you guys put these cars away for the season- they love running in colder temps- Big bonus, rewarded by Real heat in the cabin less than 5 minutes on a 30 degree morning wakeup.

besides.. lower rpm drifts just for fun in new fallen snow..

Yeah, windows down and roof off down til 50 degrees as long as it's sunny.

We put our cars away because DC does not now how to handle snow. 1/2 inch and everything shuts down. Any more than that and we are out of commission for a couple days. The counties around here deny that we get snow every year. So they are NEVER actually prepared. The snow melts before we get our streets cleaned. And the salt trucks, i dont know where they are getting their salt from, but its more like rocks and salt chunks. No way im driving the S2 in that!
