Default Major withdrawls.

I've had the xf in winter storage for 2 weeks and it's killing me. My winter car is an 07 Focus SES which is bland by comparison.

I'm thinking of cashing in the Ford on a 300 hp Altima coupe.

Winter sucks!

You could move to Calf. or Fla. I drive mine year round and i don't have to buy winter tires,,
It almost got too cold to go out the other day it was 66 for a high and 53 for the low,, we hate cold winter, that is why you have choice,,, to own a crossfire or a focus. , as for me i will never live in ANY state that the temp gets below 40 injoy your winter jim

It's only a matter of time. We have engineers in Miami, Houston, Phoenix, and SanDiago. When one of them leaves, I'm out of here!!!

That's ugly! Damn! No thanks. My corporate offices are back in PA, and they wanted to have a meeting in Jan/Feb. All us west coasters complained, so no meetings till it warms up.

Hate to disappoint you, but the Altima only goes up to 270

Hows this I live in Vancouver BC Canada, Bought my 05 Red Roadster in California in July. Never saw Rain there and will never see rain here. Drive it on dry sunny days only, rarely ever see snow in this city, but rain like Seattle. Yes Canada no snow! Funny we are having 2010 Winter Olympics, but in the mountains looking down on the city there will be Olympic events like Ski Jumping. Had 20 feet there last year and 30 feet at Whistler 2 hours away. We live in the best place on earth. Sorry for your snow troubles I will think of you when I drive to Starbucks tomorrow in the sun 52 degrees no top down though, When storage is being done try to run it once a week to keep the battery up. Read too many problems when battery dies.

I have had mine in storage for about a month now. THE BEST THING TO DO TO GET RID OF WITHDRAWLS IS START SPENDING EVERY DAY WITH IT TAKING IT APART. Soo far I almost have the supercharger off, all four rims and tires,and most of the interior. I am going to finish with the brakes lol man is it going to be a long winter. Here is a pic from a week ago when I started

When there's 8" of snow on top of a sheet of black ice...does it really matter? Anyways it would royally beat the sh*t out of the Ford.
