When my father was looking at maybe getting an Elise last year, he liked the KG.

I think the story was that an owner was out of town and a water pipe burst. It's one of those good ol' "internet photos" so who knows what the truth is.

Well since there's snow on the Elise, you might as well take it out for a spin.

no offense, but why do you buy impractical sports cars when you live in places that snow 4-5 months out of the year? what's the point? I'd spend more time snowboarding....

it's like buying a Ferrari and living in Antarctica....

MOVE!

Don't be rude. The other 7-8 months are glorious, that's why.

By the way, I thought my old garage was leaky. How did that happen? Was it literally wind pushing against the bottom of the door seal (that wasn't) and forced the snow in? Mine has a small gap at the bottom and I've gotten some snow in, but nothing like that and we had one heck of a snow two years ago. I think it was 36-40"
