Default OFF TOPIC;;;;;; BUT MAN!


this is completely off topic, but man I can wait to get my 951 out of storage. Winter is way to long without it. Out march 15.
In Quebec, the new law says you need winter tires between december 15 and march 15. I also hope that there will be no more snow and salt on the roads.

New stuff I accumulated this winter, need to install in March:
1. 17'' boxster mags (brand new condition, no chips) + black & silver caps
2. Great condition black front and rear seats (had a bad cracked cashmere color)
3. Momo steering wheel, hub, new flasher arm console
4. Ball joint + motor mounts
5. New heads + chip (my 951 never in her life had a chip in it)
6. And maybe turbo K26-8 (upgrade)

Pheeew, cant wait

The only thing I am looking for now are spacers for my new wheels.

If anybody as some for sale, please let me know

This is an excellent law that we need here.

"All season" just means the tires are pretty awful in all seasons.

I just got back from a nice drive in the snow and salt. You are missing out, these cars are a pleasure to drive in all conditions. I put 330 miles on in the past 2 days

+1 yellowline. There is no such thing. Ernie, you should get out more,lol. I mean, back and forth in the driveway smacks of desperation.

I believe they are great to drive in all condition (maybe not in a 30'' snowfall of snowstorm), but don't you care for the damage the salt could do to your car? I've seen 944 with rust, and it just broke my hearth.

I live in Ontario, and this is the first time in a few years that I haven't had snow tires for any of my cars, and I had kind of forgotten how woefully inadequate all-season tires are in snow and slush. Next year, I'm going back to real snow tires!
