I woke up to 14". I was close to digging my car out, now back to square one.

Same deal here; one of the coldest spring seasons, ever.
Usually by this time we see bikinis out washing cars.

Over 90F here in the So Cal deserts. Not sure that's a good thing... After many, many years of ownership, my car is finally at the point of being able to daily drive it and in the shape I THOUGHT I had purchased it in. I've always had to be careful taking a left turn from a stop because of tire breakaway in 1st. Been daily driving it for a few weeks now after replacing the head gasket & going over the vacuum system. Is it just me or does it seem like things get 'settled in' driving after a repair? It's been breaking away seemingly easier than normal in 1st, and cruising around this weekend, without trying I swear (i.e. really not getting into it too much), its still breaking away after shifting into 2nd. Tires are still good, just seems to be running nice finally. Anyway, those are my thoughts from the peanut gallery. I feel sorry for you guys, but you don't have to put up with 120F+ in the summer...

Hmm I have ad07 255's in rear on mine but never had much issue with it getting loose.

What tires are you using?

I can't even break my snow tires loose (225 in the rear), and my car is in good shape!

You guys either run pretty weak rubber or have crummy/gravel roads, or are dumping the clutch a little bit?

think the traction debate comes down more to suspension setup vs. tires on 951's, soft-squat prone setups hook up great while more track-oriented 'stiff' setups spin easier...less weight transfer

30 here this morning, and with the All Season Tire's not even starting to grip till 40, life is an adventure.

Yeah, really only breaking away in 2nd if I'm making a corner - I noticed it on a few left hand turns pulling away from stop lights. I'm on the original m030 suspension which floats like a big boat - but my tires are some 7+ year old 245 Dunlop SP9000's. Rubber still feels soft, but... Guess it's time to find some 17" wheels so I can get some new tires.

Weather is back in the 60's here but with very high winds, so I guess I'm in the 'no driving the 951' boat too for a few days...

Whats wrong with snow?

I'm pretty sure my car will melt if I drive it in snow.

It stays hibernated until the warm weather comes.

WTF, I've driven my 951 in the VA snow on all seasons and I think once on RS3s. I'm waiting on parts for my other car, so the 951 has been getting extra duty the past couple weeks.

I've put to much money into my car to have rock chips, salt, dirt and crap all over it. It's a summer car.
Thats what my Mazda and FJ are for.
