Default I can't stand it anymore!

46 degrees and we haven't had any snow for a few days here in Colorado. With all of the pics and videos from the different drives from the folks in California, I can't no longer keep the car in the garage.

I have no idea how some of you can store the car for the winter (except for our neighbors to the morth). It's time to take the Carrera out for a drive and stretch her legs.

I went to take a drive the week before Christmas and wouldnt you know it 20 inches of snow. The snow melted and the road crews left enough salt and sand to refill parts of Ocean City, Marylands depleted beaches. Damn you winter.

I store mine 6 months a year. Honestly when I do drive it it feels like a new car.

Drove over to the beach for breakfast this morning. No Targa top, sweater and shorts. Sat in the warm sun-close to 70 at about 10:15 or so. Back home now to smoke a Cuban, down a couple of Mojitos and watch the chargers. 78 here now. Great end to 11 days off!

Did I mention we took the sailboat out yesterday?

I took the sunroof off yesterday to start replacing the seals...that's the extent of anything with the word "sun" in it.

When the girl goes off to college in the fall, the wife, dog and Porsche will have to relocate to a more 911 friendly state.
