For some reason this bothered me. I'm sorry, but if I had a $100,000+ car I would not be driving it in the snow and salt with random idiots who think they can drive in the snow but can't. She would be in a heated garage with way to much wax and my semen all over the floor. Plus it doesn't help the guys case when hes a douche. Take pride in your shit dummy.

Ps - R8 is not a car I really like but none the less its still awesome.

[RCubed]

I dont think there's anything wrong with that'
props to him for actually driving his car and not 'garage queen'ing it for 10 months a year'

[HCR32]

He's just to cocky. I wouldn't be driving that car in the snow either.

May be $100,000 to him is like a penny to you? Do you really care about a penny?

nothing wrong with driving a R8 in the snow given it has a set of snow tires. it'll just end up with surface scratches all over the paint, but doesnt seem like he cares, and looks like he lives in a shitty house to be able to afford such a car.

[JSALES]

i was expecting his house to be nicer. who knows though, that R8 could be his beater or perhaps even a rental? haha

lol i was about to say he's got a pretty shitty house in a shitty neighborhood for a R8 owner

[marc0lishuz]

Why would it bother you? It's not your car.

Props to him for driving it in those conditions, whether to prove a point, or just being cocky.

[The_AK]

whatever bro, its got quattro

[shenmecar]

whatever bro, its got quattro

But more importantly, the world's widest side of snow tires.

[fishing666]

well cars are too be used..

[skyxx]

R8's a good daily driver. :) I would drive it everyday. Why not?

[vexor]

Fail for going to bed bath and beyond

[GabAlmighty]

I'd buy him a beer

[lilaznviper]

props to the guy driving the car through the snow
cars are meant to be driven and not garaged parked

[TRD Rs200]

hes too cocky, but i would take the R8 in the snow also, given its got the world's wildest set of snow tires

[Blinky]

This thing got turbo? ;)

[SolidPenguin]

I think the fifth gear MC12 video hurts more. But its good to see that kind of attitude sometimes for a supercar. Its meant to be driven.

[monkeywrench]

im more glad to see him driving that R8 in the snow than the 18 year olds who are driving an R8 in richmond

this guys putting quattro to use too

[AVS_Racing]

well cars are meant to be driven, and to some ppl r8 v10s r only their winter beaters. as long as u dont drive like a dumb ass its ok.

[G-spec]

whatever, there's better ways to prove the car can drive on snow than risky street driving. Now this is a legit snow setup right here, didnt even know they made winter tires this size...

Dude said it outdrives his GMC truck in the snow, this is an SV Lambo minus the spoiler by the way !

Those videos are all so friggin depressing... if I'm going to watch a car on snow it better at least be doing something cool!

Guys, hes in the north east. I doubt there is a whole lot of salt on the roads looking at what's plowing them.

Cars are meant to be driven. Would I drive it in the snow?, no probably not but but I had millions of dollars perhaps.

Go drive around Vancouver when it's snowing. Last year I saw tons of 911's in the snow (by tons I mean like 3 or 4). Big deal...

[!LittleDragon]

It's all relative... if I had a lot of money, my MR2 would be a Lambo and it would also be driven all the time. It'd also be unwashed and unmaintained cuz I'm lazy that way.

[woob]

But more importantly, the world's widest side of snow tires.

damn... so no winter tires exist for the Countache eh

[Greenstoner]

i love watching expensive car on snow ...

[maxxxboost]

Meh.
If he wants to drive the car is the snow, whatever. Just don't be giving the middle finger to everyone while doing it.

Personally, i'd have a SUV on the side.

I'd hate to get unnecessary scratch/chips. I get enough of those in Richmond

[Pt20]

I give him props. :)

[RabidRat]

wtf.. why is there snow on his valve cover?!

[Adrenaline Rush]

^^ I think there are vents around the glass of the engine cover. It's possible blowing snow could have made it in there.

Manufacturers have to test all cars in extreme conditions - I have no doubt the R8 and many other exotics had to pass cold weather testing so it's no big of a deal IMO.

[hal0g0dv2]

nice, looks fun

[iamaudi]

Why not show it, quattro is capable in the snow.

did everyone that posted so far miss this post?

[Gh0stRider]

lol @ the dog

[josh t-1]

seriously... this is retarded i dont care what car you give me i could drive it like they did in those conditions!... im sure almost all of us could,I just drove my integra 400 km's today in twice as much snow as that with no harm done. the guys just looking for an excuess to show off his car, whoppity shit you drove an awd car down a street that had 3" of snow on it... i dont know maybe its a big deal in places that have sissy winters.

heres proof of how much snow there is where i drive on a regular basis.

He's just to cocky. I wouldn't be driving that car in the snow either.

why is he cocky...? if i have money to least an R8 or a Lambo...i'd drive it everyday even in the snow ...... it's least..who cares...factory takes cares all the issues anyways
