Don't look at me, I'm still on storage insurance!

IG account 'exoticsontheroad' has been spotting a lot of ridiculous supercars being brought out lately, blame them. Bringing out a Lamborghini Huracan STO and a McLaren 765LT before April is just asking for it.

Unless you're the guy I used to work with that had a "winter beater" Gallardo. His Aventador only came out in the summer.

He'd surface park it at the office, just filthy covered in slush and crap.

There was a red 'winter beater' Gallardo that used to park outside on 4 Avenue SW every day across from the International Hotel.

Aside from AWD Porsche 911s which are basically the champions of year-round sports car usage, an AWD Gallardo would be a pretty killer winter beater.

Except if you're trying to navigate snow/ice divots more than an inch deep

I assuming there is only one of these guys, traded his gallardo in for a GT2RS for winter, just plowed the road with it

The front lift system is standard on 2005 and later models, so less of an issue.

I wouldn't take one down my back lane lest it got stuck in the ice tracks/ruts that people have created from driving in the same track as each other. They're deep bastards.

I was convinced it was the same guy but now I'm not to sure. If the guy you know is driving a Porsche in the winter there are definitely two of them because the guy I know had his Lamborghini downtown this week.

We need higher lows for things to really start melting/thawing out. Haven't had many growing degree days yet.

You shouldn’t be, winter doesn’t end in this city until mid April. Understand it and don’t forget it. That way you won’t be disappointed every year when it happens.
