A: its all wheel drive
B: they are making almost every supercar with the mind of it being functional as a daily driver 100%.
They also better equip cars for such conditions nowadays what with undercoating the bottom side and having quality seals and fitment. Minus being bad for the paint unless he washes it right there should be no harm

One guy in my town has his Maserati to drive any time of the year. Takes his Aston Martin out only in the summer and saves the Lamborghini Murciélago only in the summer on days there is a 0% chance of rain.
Those are besides the other about 10 cars he has. Saw a few different Ferrari's in the high school parking lot for athletic events and when I worked on a farm, one where you could go there and pick fruits yourself, someone was there in a Bentley.

Seen a grey on parked on Brunswick 2 months back on my way to a mooseheads game. Couldn't believe it. One thing I noticed though is there are a lot of internationals here special and school, and daddy's over seas will by them everything. Was in line to pay my tuition last year and a Chinese guy pulled up in as I was pullin in brand new r8 and paid his 4 year tuition in cash roughly 80 g for international students. This is nothing against them just saying they purchase a lot of high end things and don't know much about our culture/climate

^ Agree! Other than the ride height it would be an excellent car for winter. Saw one recently at Lake Louise while the roads were full of snow and salt. Here in Regina there is a guy driving a Continental in the middle of winter. Just shows if you have the money you can drive whatever the hell you want, whenever you want.

grey or silver yes.
young white guy driving it.
and to those who continue to say "it's a car.. it was designed for that" or "it has AWD so what?" or the best line "meh i see those all the time who cares?"
stop being retards. first off not all of us live in a big rich city where cars like that are a dime a dozen. when you live in the country or smaller cities,cars like that are few and far between. second there is no snow on the ground so traction wasn't the issue. third... the car was not "designed" to be driven in the winter. of course you can drive it in the winter on salty roads. the issue i had was someone taking a beautiful car like that and driving it like it's a winter beater. salt does more than corrode and rust things. the granules on the road kick up and sandblast your front facia and windshield as well. They stain your interior carpet and can even cause seat rails and other parts to rust.
obviously the person has money and doesn't care... my point is it's still a shame since some would kill to have a car like that..

Why do you care so much? Its just a car that can be washed like any other car. Its almost the same as saying "oh man why the heck are you driving that '92 civic in the snow???" Cars are built to be driven not just sit in a garage 6 months out of the year... if it has wheels and an engine it was built to be driven.
