The 911. For every day. For every season. Let's see a pic of yours getting dirty in the white stuff.
997 tucked away in Vermont! 993 is my Florida winter driver!
2012 S4 tucked away next to the 997 in Vermont and the 2014 S4 is submissive to the 993 in Florida. URQUATTRO outguns them all, but will never see salt and snow again after surviving many Vermont winters and is now at home at my Son's in NC!

I'm with you on this one, I don't drive mine in bad weather either, no need to, I have two other cars to drive in the winter. Too much hassle putting on winter tires, I have summer tires on it all year round. Contrary to popular belief, Denver doesn't snow that much when it does, it melts the next day and the day after, the road is clear and ready to be driven in summer tires so that is when I take mine out.
We have 2 other cars as well with an X5 being one of them, which is the one that gets abused the most.

Winter tires aren't just for snow - summer tires become hockey pucks and dangerous below 45 degrees or w/e.
This is my first winter with my C2S on Sottozeros. I'll have to update with a photo.
Old faithful! 200+K miles. Still going strong. We don't get much snow in DFW, and if we do, stay off the roads, it's Armageddon! Otherwise, as long as it's >50 F, I grab the 997.2S or the Cali. I do, however, tend to limit spirited driving to > 75 F since both have summer performance tire (MPSS).

That UR Quattro is awesome. Too bad so few were shipped to NA.
BTW, if you oil spray and use good wax on Audis, winter doesn't bother them much. Cayennes are similar in that regard.
URQUATTRO is the ONLY Audi Quattro ever built (all others by model ie: A4 quattro), was started in 1981 as 250 limited production for rally homologation and has NO body galvanization. Mine is a WR European production brought over in 1982 and guaranteed insured now for more than my 997!
I love seeing a ski rack on a 911! Our Cayenne was our winter warrior for many years. It has been replaced with a GMC Sierra Crew Cab. I drive the 911 in winter conditions, but not skiing.

Yeah I had a 955TT for 8 years and the thing was a beast in the snow. It was perfect for skiing. I replaced it with a C4S. Maybe not as perfect but nothing beats arriving in style.
Sorry to disappoint but this is my winter warrior hidden behind the wall.
My 4WD beats my C2S convertible that had 305:s at the rear. I'm just talking safety here. There is simply no other option.
Edit: I don't even enjoy the ****ty deteriorating winter roads with growing potholes and salt with my daily driver. Even less so with the Porsche. Spring is a different story
