I live in TORONTO, Canada. I drive my 997s with x51 power kit May-Oct.

I dont have a garage and Im considering getting an outdoor cover. It seems like it would be a hastle to put on and take off daily. I also have a 2017 Macan GTS so I dont need to drive my 911 everyday

Thoughts?

Many years ago. I had to keep my 911 outside & kept it covered. I didn't daily drive it, so no hassle for me. But, I did need to keep the locking cable on it due to wind, & I can see that being hassle every day.
It's really up to you.

Your subconscious has sent you here - the 911 forum, as in 911, 964, 993, 996, 997, 991. It wants you to dump your 997 911 and get a 911 911. First, of course, you must find a proper cover for it. That is, a garage.

A car cover is a mixed bag and only works if you put it on a clean car. Anything short of that, leave the cover off.

Where are you parking it in the winter?

Underground warm garage plugged in

I went with the hail resistant cover. It's tough to use when your car isn't clean.

Two Porsche's, no garage. I got nothin'

I guess that's better than 2 garages & no Porsche, right?

911 Rod

Seeing that you felt you had to mention it was an X51 power kit you should not cover it so people can go ew and ah.......

Seems like a mean comment. I thought people here were nice

build a garage or at least a car port

if local codes prohibit, then put up a temporary carport with fabric stretched over a frame of steel pipe
