Looks like you might get your wish!
My V70R is ready to play. Red Rocket stays in the garage.
It would be fun to go out there, I admit. But these people around here can't even drive in rain, and it rains a lot.
How they drive in snow (or NOT) is just incredible. It's the Other Guy that I worry about.

Bump, we just got about 13 inches, can't wait to get a 964 of my own!

Anyone enjoying a morning rally?

Great to see C4s in the snow. Living in CO I've always been an AWD (and turbo) guy - so IMO the reason to have AWD is to drive in the snow. Proper tires make all the difference.

In like a lamb out like a lion :-)

Default Snow and Sleet in ND

Just before I put away, got a chance to try my "new" 91' C4 in sleet and ice. This is pic after I got back home. It was more fun than I expected. Rinsed it off about hour later. Sadly it is in heated storage until Spring. I believe the car would handle our winters great, I just don't trust anyone else.

Not so much snow but weather was really bad last weekend here in Finland.
Road was really slippery even in C4.

Porsche just sent this link out via their Twitter feed:

I wonder if he is a Rennlister?

The C4 handles very well in ND snow, wish I could be the only one on the road though. Can't bear to take my dream car out and risk a trip to body shop.
