Default Something fun for when its -5* in Iowa!
As everyone up here in the Midwest has experienced this winter, it's been bitterly cold and the 993 hasn't made it out of storage. So, I got something a little more fun for a dd in the winter.

What are others doing for winter fun?

Im putting a set of winter tires next winter. I still take 993 out when it's dry out.

Other car is MB GLK, not "fun" but gets me through snow even on 20 inch all-seasons.

Thanks! Yes, I did...

This is what the new family car looked like when I purchased it 2 weeks ago:



And this is what it looked like last week...



Can't wait for this stupid winter to be over!!

Very cool E55! I would love to have one of those someday! So will our PCA subscriptions be going up to help pay for that?

You have to ask PCA. I have nothing to do with it. And had I purchased a new Subaru Outback ($30K, same price I paid for the above wagon) would you be asking the same question?

Great pics ilko.

I've gotta figure out what to do for winter tires/wheels on the SQ5. The summer 20's aren't going to cut it.

You got your Subarus confused. The Forester is the one you have in mind

I didn't say they weren't good cars. Actually to the contrary. One of my best friends owns a Subaru Dealer (wagnersubaru.com No affiliation) and the Subaru jokes just come natural. That said, really like the looks of them and they last forever.

Iko, I'm jealous. I want an Orange 997 turbo and an E55 wagon!

Here's my salt crusher after a 250 mile drive





Luckily the dealer washed it this past weekend when I took it in for service
