You don't have a 16 year old son do you?
Actually, this pic was taken months ago - when stored during the winter, I do hook it up to a battery maintainer. I do love my car, but I'd trade it for a real 250GT California Spyder portrayed in the movie (that one was supposedly a fiberglas mock up from what I understand). BTW, I have twin 23 yo sons - TG only one can drive a manual.

It snowed today but nothing stayed on the ground. Will get a snow picture from Lakeville, MN soon.

Do your radiators get enough airflow due to snow covering the intake holes in the front bumper? By the way, this is my favorite photo so far

Yes they are snow tires and they work great, only problem is getting through snow banks.
