I have a friend who, back around 2000, picked up a GSXR 1000 and rode it over an hour home with temps in the high 20s and snow falling. He definitely regretted that decision.
Driving a nice, comfy, warm car home in the rain? Cakewalk. |

The traction control in my G83 is so well done that I can drive this torque beast in any weather condition. If your worry is about others my only suggestion is to say that is what insurance is for. If I was in your shoes I would not leave it with the dealer longer than necessary. Safe travels!

I failed to take into account the accuracy(or lack of) of weather forecasts. As of this morning, they have downgraded the chances of rain to 90% and added "Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm mainly after 11am"
Guess this mean I need to get there early and show up an hour before they open. (originally told the CA that I would be there around noon) |

you're suggesting that I cancel my car and order a Tesla instead? (they deliver to the driveway, even if you're not home... in the case of my friend, the Tesla delivery driver opened the garage using a provided code and parked it in her garage while she was not even home)

speaking of snow... definitely don't drive a Toyota 4Runner in the snow. I had one 10 years ago because I was going through a midlife crisis(or trying to re-live my teenage years). After just 2 years, it suffered severe frame rust. One of the frames near the rear completely rusted through, causing damage to the rest of the frame.(repair cost was over $6000, which Toyota picked up after my attorney friend "reminded" them of their responsibility) Snow, ice and salt don't mix with stupid 4Runner frame that was not properly coated.
