New GTS First Weekend Drive
#46
Hibernation
Just took delivery of my C2GTS a few days ago and I'm trying to get a few miles on it before it gets to cold and/or snowy and I have to put it to sleep for a few months. My question to you is: why the blue tarp under your car and why are you tying it up over the wheels?? Also, I assume the wires going under the cover are for a battery tender. Do you plug this into a 12V outlet in the cabin?
I loosely rolled up edges of tarp, with some bricks in the end roll and just loosely zip-tied the edge to rims to avoid having a loose edge for salty melted snow to get under.
The Porsche Techquipment battery charger is plugged in cigarette lighter.
Cheers!

Nice car....road looks familiar. I am in YUL also.....looking at a GTS earlier this spring but no one seemed hungry for business so I will wait till next spring. Still a lot of back and forth between PDK and manual and hoping allocations for GTS coupes open up. Did you get rear wheel steering?
Got a chance to see my new car after delivered to Porsche Prestige last week. The entire purchase and order experience with my SA Vincent Allaire has been great. Very knowledgeable and passionate about these machines.
Can't wait to pick up my car after returning from vacation.

Honest, my other car’s a Porsche
It pains me to see my GTS when I pull in my garage everyday. My Subaru Crosstrek is a great winter car, but alas no 911.
Did you mount snows on your CL’s or buy another set of winter rims?

First drive of 2018
What I saw all winter
My son did the inaugural startup
Back from the first drive
Gym mats prevented flat spots perfectly
Hope you all had a good winter.
Took my car out for the first time today.....no flat spotting at all with 50 PSI and rubber mats.
Car started immediately...used the Techquipment trickle charger.

CONGRATS!
Glad you got yours out.
I'm itching to get mine out tomorrow as the temps are expected to get as high as 50 degrees in the midwest.
