Yick. Have fun with that. While I don't drive mine in the snow, it still gets its winter use.

How much do you save by pulling it off the road?

Seriously, call me crazy, but I like the change of seasons that we have here in the midwest and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Crazy.

But I agree with you. I get bored of any given season after 6-8 weeks. I think I'd shoot myself if the seasons could be described as "warm" and "not as warm".

nope. have never felt that pain!

Brian, fwiw, when I lived it Jax Fl is did snow a few times, I have to agree - 42degrees and rainy "up here" feels less cold than it does "down there". I swear there is a difference- 30's and 40's feel VERY cold in FL.

correction.. left turn signal on, right lane and 10 under the posted speed limit.

We have two seasons, Green and Brown, and I feel like shooting myself every day.

Look for all the cool exotic car pics in the 997 forum following this Sunday's Toys For Tot's fun run and you'll see what I mean...

1) I don't know where you guys see old people. Never had a problem with that. I guess if I was old and crusty then I would remember.
2) Since the temperature is warm all year around, our women aren't corn-fed and are always prepared to look good at the beach.

that is all

I will be driving my 968 for a good deal this winter (in NJ). It is very sad as I have never let any of my Porsches see snow (other than from through the garage window! ).

I have said it before....I don't mind the snow on my Porsche but I don't like the road salt on it....it gets into every nook and cranny underneath the car....I haven't let any road salt get on my car and I bought it down south so as much as I can tell she has never seen road salt.....
