Unhappy Ohio Weather SUCKS

I hate this weather. I haven't been able to take the 930 out in about 4 weeks now. It's driving me nuts, <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> I think that I'm even forgetting what my wastegate sounds like. . A 944 can only be so much fun for a while till it gets boring. At times like this I wish I lived in sunny Southern Cali. Man you guys are soooooo lucky right now. <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" />

Pete,

I'm with you. Here in NY, it isn't much better. Although, on the bright side for me however, is that my engine is out of the car, so if it WAS nice, I think I'd be beside myself. Oh yea, I agree with you, my 944S2 isn't nearly as much fun as the 930, except you can do some awesome 4 wheel drifts on the sandy roads.

Same here in MA. You should be working on your car in this weather. Then you might not be so bummed.

I just got my car back together a couple days ago,
got in, fired it up and wanted to throw it in reverse sooooooo baaddd. Then I remembered the
5 inches of snow in my driveway. I tried the work on your car theory and it only works for so long. Any body want to donate some big reds and SPG's so I can keep playing with my toys? I second the fun drifts that can be had in a 944. Anyway, Back to stareing endlessly at the 930.

heh.. Sunny Florida here. Ran from snowy west PA over twenty years ago. Problem is: now I -don't- have a "winter teardown" opportunity. As a result, the cars are run 'til they break, and so busy keeping the eats onna table I don't have time/cash to fix 'em properly. &lt;sigh&gt;.

Hey Doc,
You need a full time detail guy? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
I'll work for free and have lots of
hands on expieriance with porsches.
Here's the catch, all you have to do is
ship me and the p-cars down to sunny
florida RIGHT NOW.
I'll probably be out of Ohio before
the end of this year so no more miserable
winters for me. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Yep...your weather has been worse than ours. But even though I'd like to be driving the 930...we are getting a lot of porsche debt paid off while it is taking a winter nap!
