I'm not sad. It's like wrapping a present for yourself to unwrap in the spring. Bemo, you're right that there will still be a nice day or two here and there. But I wanted to use the nice weather to do the wrapping. I'd just rather save the P-car for decent weather and temps, and avoid the salt and sandblast season here in the Northeast. That's what this is for.

Beautiful car! Enjoy

Default I tucked her away too...

But just for the week. Live in south Florida but it may be a week or more before I have a chance to drive her.

Parked it 3 weeks ago. Ended up being too early as we finally only had a dump of snow the past few days.

Alpins are on!. I'll drive it on dry days....SQ5 for snowy days. Would be tough to put away for the entire winter.

It’s “evening†time in Connecticut but not quite a “night night†for the season. It was 55 today and I’ve been Rumbling all day. I hope the warm spell continues a tad longer, followed by a month or 2 of cold weather and, yes, snow.

Bemo, with the weather this weekend I just had to wake her up and go driving. Kids were back from school, so I even squeezed in a nice country drive with my daughter (and gave her a turn at the week. Loved the ride, and I love this shot!

Very nice, the wife and I are about to head out for another round. I’m loving the weather and I’m happy that you awakened your beast. CT has great driving roads, the wine trail alone is responsible for most of the first 5k miles...
Happy motoring and honk if you ever see us...

It is still 911 season here in southern CT. Just cool enough to use the seat and steering wheel heaters. We did some shopping today in Greenwich. I love it when the wife recommends the long way home.

Awesome car and great shot. She looks like she's ready to fly with that car! We had a full house too this weekend. Grandparents, college kids and another visitor coming tomorrow from Hong Kong.

Curious about the Porsche crest and cars on the wall behind your car. Are they vinyl? If so, where'd you get them? I'm getting closer to finishing my garage renovation and was thinking about something like this on one of the walls.

Thanks,
