Gallardo in winter like a 911 4S or R8
This may seem like a crazy idea, but now that the prices for the 07-08 Gallardos are dropping I have been thinking of getting one as my "other" car.
I drive an Aston Martin V12Vantage in the summer and I track an Audi TT RS in the summer months and daily drive it in the winter months.
Last week I drove my friends R8 V10 on the track and it was fantastic, it made me crave a Gallardo again, but I'm not selling the Vantage. I would sell the Audi TT RS
People drive 911 4S's and R8's all through the winter (in downtown Toronto. Not too much snow)
SOOOOO...
Is it possible (for the more hard core) to drive a Gallardo like a Porsche or R8? I'm thinking about people who live in the city (Chicago, NY, Toronto etc)
Is it a crazy idea now that the prices have come down?

I've also seen a video of an R8 and GT-R struggling up a slight snowy slope. Probably due to inadequate tires but these cars were also never designed foe this.
Bottom line, AWD is great, but with these cars you'll also need the best winter tires you can buy to feel truly safe.

Not all AWD systems are equal. Go watch videos of STi's pulling Hummers out of the snow.
