2013 New Year's Resolution(s) for your Audi R8

[guod]

Oh I see. So you're not driving it in the winter. I should just say, unless there's an issue of ground clearance, the R8, when equipped with proper winter tires, really is supremely capable as a winter car. Like a few others, I run Pirelli SottoZero tires in the winter and I just love being one of the only sports/exotics out there.

Don't miss out on all the fun!

I know I actually live in the city in a condo now so driving in only "good" winter weather is doable too. I've considered getting winter tires for next season but a few things hold me back:

1) I have a C350 coupe for winter -- it's actually worse probably since it's RWD
2) I'm afraid of other bad drivers crashing into me in winter
3) I'd need another set of wheels/winter tires
4) I actually don't really enjoy driving in winter since it's so cold. I drive my other car as little as possible.

I came to the V10 from a Vanquish - which is pretty close to the DBS.

I saw the new Vanquish a few days ago. Stunning looking car.

So how do you get around then? TTC?

Hate the TTC I take it rarely - a couple times a month maybe. I actually just walk everywhere.

And see point 1) here's the wintermobile:

I see you have the C63 18" wheels. Looks nice. Yeah, I can't deal with the TTC either.

Always loved these wheels. One of the best OEM wheels I'd say. The C63 2012 onward have a newer version but I found these take-offs easily. Does anyone like the TTC?

Anyway, back on topic, I'm going to up my goal from 15k to 20k

But how are you going to do that if you live downtown and have another car that's arguably more suitable for the daily grind AND you don't even drive in the winter?

It won't be easy LOL

Basically, if it's over 5C I will drive the R8 Family and friends all live in the suburbs... golf courses are far away (I will just have to get used to having clubs in the passenger seat) and instead of walking to shops, I will just drive to far away locations! LOL

Oh you poor thing you, have to take an R8 on such pedestrian journeys. Haha...

I'll be in Toronto next month. I'll keep a lookout for your car!
