Emira on order
Hopefully this time its for real and there isn't another delay on my car, but my dealer said my car ETA is around November. While I'm super stoked for it, I do have some concerns about getting my car delivered when there would already be or soon to be snow on the ground.

Kind of worried about not being able to break it in properly/ find out all the issues before having it sit for the winter

Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on what I should do?

Our winters have been coming late year over year so you may get a few good weeks in. I personally bought snow tires for my Emira so I can drive it when it gets cold. Last winter the roads were clear until January and if I had winter tires for my 488, I could have two more months of driving. Just be careful with cup2 , they don’t work well is cool and wet.
 
I'm in the same situation. I asked if they could store it in a heated facility over the winter and they said that shouldn't be a problem... My dealer is SLC and I live in Montana

Going to bump this because i have a new issue,

I'm set to be working abroad for 6 months starting may. Still no update on when my Emira is going to be on the way, but I expect it to start being built soon.

Any suggestions on what I should do with my Emira while I'm gone and what upkeep I should arrange to be done on it?
 
Do you have anyone you trust enough to drive it whilst you are away?
I know lots of people store their cars, but I have always asked my wife and/or father to drive the car once a week, just to keep it ticking over. Seems a much better way than letting it sit for months
