Default How do you store your porsche?

Don't know how you guys do it. There's been snow on the ground for a few days now and I am going through withdrawal. Don't know how you guys can store your cars for the season and not drive it. I find myself just sitting in it in the garage when I haven't been able to drive it for a few days.

In the garage, under a cover, with the battery maintainer connected. Trust me, the thought of getting my Supercups salted up stops me in my tracks every time I think of wanting to drive the car.

My secret is to embark on some large project every winter that has the car in pieces, so that it is undrivable.

Right now mine been grounded for about a month due to snow, ice and salt. It does get a bit hard even if I only drive it around the block once a weekend But hey at least it's tucked up inside the garage out of harm's way.

I just look at how every car in the parking lot is covered head to toe in salt (they really oversalt here). I also look at how my winter rat has gone from rustless to having the doors rusted out in just 2 years.

Everytime we get a fresh layer of snow though I wish I had it ready to go, but once it turns to salt, I'm glad it's in the garage.

It does not snow here, so I can drive year round. I don't drive in the rain. It does get the garage.
