I'm leaving it @ the pickup, with tourist plates and most likely obnoxious "Patriots Super Bowl champions"
stickers on the back I will get pulled over with a fat ticket
seriously, I'm with my 13 year old son, I can't chance it.
Roads here and weather mirror Germany, few week ago was warm near 45/50F but nights dropped below freezing, my friend got tempted to take his 2017 m3 out of his garage with summer tires (big mistake) 8pm going to dinner with his wife he slid off road driving conservatively (no one was hurt but needed a tow)
That and a few members experience in the area made me plan to just leave it, be safe
In short beware of night temps, road conditions change, good luck on your drive home hopefully you can make it daytime
