By the way, fun thread idea and great pics! The composition of some of them is great. (Not in mine!)
That's one of my favorite things about the 911 - fun for the whole family!
Yeah it was pretty significant in the picture. I had just played around for 2-3 minutes in a very large parking lot that hosts autocross events - it's a mile from my house and on the way to the gas station and restaurants. The snow was all fresh light powder and I never got above ~40 mph so I didn't notice the effect. If it were dense wet stuff or I got up to speed it probably would have felt terrible.

Gah! I just filled up this morning, get to work, log on to RL and THEN I see this thread. It's going to be at least another month before I need gas again (P-Car is not my DD).
Cool thread idea tho!

I know a lot of folks get worried about that or at least used to twenty years ago but I frankly don't understand why with DFI engines (and less so with diesel). If someone convinces me there is a meaningful risk I'll happily change what I do. And if I owned a carbureted or alternative fuel car I would shut it down every time as I haven't thought through all of it for those types of systems.

Not sure about that time, but I don't think it matters with this car so I might have. I often leave our diesel SUV running when it's cold outside to keep the heat on.
