    Wow. My dream location Ojai. Less humid than my end of the country but ......... I’ll raise my hand. Snowboard sits idly by on the
    Wall. Note 80 degree sun outside.

    Went to Zion in my Huracan today. This is coming up to sweeping rock from the other side. This part of the park is only available to cars for a short time during the winter. Otherwise it is park shuttle only. Make sure your youtube playback quality is set to 1080p60 for best results and turn up the volume.

    Ferrari of Denver picked up my 458 spider for annual service today. Had to go through some packed snow to get inside the truck. Was in wet mode but no problem.

    When l got free annual service the earliest l could get the service done was May. So l wanted to get it done before May as that is a great month to drive here. Can’t wait.

    Car started right away. Sounded great.

    Enjoying watching the Weather Channel here in FL and chilling out, going to the gym, working part time.

    If the wind isn't too bad (which it can be this time of year), I tool around a bit in the 458 in the afternoons, top down.

    My poor brother says they got over 30" of snow (1 meter) up in NJ. Grew up there, and I miss the snow - for about three hours.

    Same thing I do every winter, continue living in San Diego and driving my 458 with the top down. I do have the full electrical seats (RSFE). so I might turn the seat heaters on.

    I wouldn't waste the money on PPF for an off roader. I did it on my last RR and it was a waste, the rocks just cut right through the film and made dents in the hood anyway.

    Here is my current RR used as a DD, I love it.

    Couldn’t agree more. My RR is the best in winter time. With winter tires, nothing phases it. May not be sporty, but I am driving it for its RR capabilities.

    Sometimes we have winter here, not too often but it happens.

    a guy I know has a 275 GTB/4. He and his wife sit in their lawn chairs and imbibe in wine and cheese while admiring the Ferrari during the winter months. Gotta do what you gotta do.
