We average 4.2 snow days per YEAR and have a annual total of 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) .... does that count? ;-) ;-)

I used to live in Green Bay, WI where it started snowing in late Oct / early Nov and we didn't see the ground again until May. I like down here a LOT better.

And you have some of the most awesome roads in the country! I go on a 4,000-5,000 mile motorcycle trip every year to either the Rockies or the Smokies.

Conventional wisdom says more rubber=better ride. But Porsche says that that large 20/21 set up allows you to lower tire pressure and get a better ride. Based on the posts here 20/21 on the 992 S and 4S have a better ride. How come?

I had my car out earlier today and the front end automatically lowers at 40mph.

I assume you have done US129 (Tail of the Dragon) and the Cherohala Skyway as well then, correct? I'm almost sure you have ridden the Blue Ridge Parkway as well too. Yes, there are a lot of fantastic curvy roads in Eastern TN.

Yes, Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway many times and the entire Blue Ridge Parkway from Cherokee, NC to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Spectacular roads!
