the "i hate cold/bad weather thread"

I have been sitting around for three days waiting for the weather to clear up so I could get the 599 out of its hibernation and I am about to loose my mind. It's finally dry out so I'm holding my breath it doesn't rain later. Hopefully I will be able to take some pics of the car later and I'll post them in this thread. Anybody else feeling the depression too? Before everyone gets on my case about driving in the rain, its about 40 degrees outside and R compound tires are pretty much worthless unless its dry so I don't need some "just drive it in the rain you pansy" bs.

god please make it sunny

Very cold here today. I think it dipped into the high 60's last night. Oh well good luck with the weather.

Aloha

I was referring to keeping the car on the road due to the tires being hard as rocks on cold tarmac. The E55 is worthless after 2000 rpm, the 599 would have hit the rev limiter 100+ times if I took on the same drive I just did in the e55.
