that leather looks great, wow. great use of storage! i love the fact people are actually using these cars instead of letting them collect years in the garage doin nothin.

what great photos. what's is interesting is just how easy the 4s can get thru anything ... even my 2 with decent snow tires can get thru our winters. i can't recall a single time i have gotten stuck, even in heavy snow conditions. the 4 feels definitely much more in control while the 2 just loves to slide ... and if you know your cars limits and how to drive in snow / wet conditions i can think of anything (that i have driven) that puts a bigger smile on my face.

Love it, don't know what tires he has on, but had he put on some Hakka 10 studded he wouldn't have had any problems. Love the light bar, considering the frunk version from my younger days on my 911T and Alpine, Audi Quattro etc.

The conclusion is drive them fer cryin out loud! Thanks for sharing

Very entertaining video. Wonder how many new bumps and scrapes he now has on his car.
