My car was sleeping soundly in the garage to the hum of the battery tender while I was clearing 20" of snow.
^^^Wow... That's a lot of snow... I didn't get that much (maybe 3-4"), but my snow blower was useless as the snow/rain/snow/sleet/slush event created a un-blowable mess. It's now a fairly solid mass as the temperature is hovering around 20 degrees
Snug and free from weather and waiting for slightly less snow in order to move it to the other garage as the IMS Solution, Brombacher oil pan, was delivered the day before the storm.
If y'all need to store your 996s somewhere that doesn't have snow, or salted roads, let me know.
It's been a LONG time since we had any snow down here.
I'd gladly make sure your car gets driven often.
We can safely drive our cars 365. (as long as it doesn't flood)
Had Pirelli winter tires (265/225) put on my 2003 4s. Finally acquired a set of 10x18 et47 winter rear rims, so unlike last winter i dont have to stretch the 265s on stock rear 11x18 rims.

Nice. I, too, drive in the winter, but I have all seasons.

I bought it to drive year round in NJ. Have put on 28k miles in 21 months, will rollover 50k on Monday. Daily driving it 130 miles since Labor day, best part of my day!!!
A good set of snow tires makes the world of difference during the winter. I drove my MK6 GTI for 5 years and had a set of 16 inch steelies with dedicated snow tires, never failed to make it up my driveway which is on a little hill. After the snow the other day my Audi with AWD took me 4 attempts to make it up with all seasons.
I bought a used Gentex compass/self dimming mirror from an Audi because it uses the same windshield mount and wiring plug as a 996. The 996 harness is part # 996.612.964.00 and plugs directly into the plug on the Audi mirror. In May of 2018 it was $33.73 from Sonnen. The little window on the upper right is the compass.
That's kind of that's kind of cool. What year and model Audi mirror is it?

One thing to be mindful is that not all the Homelink equipped Gentex mirror will operate newer Chamberlain/LiftMaster garage doors. It seems Chamberlain/LiftMaster updated their security coding (Security+ 2.0) in the late 2000's so only some of the newer Gentex mirrors will work with them. (~2014+ on most cars and some a few years earlier). If you have a Genie brand garage door opener then this shouldn't be a problem. My 2013 Impreza Homelink mirror worked with my Genie garage door opener but when I switched to a Chamberlain opener it didn't work. Luckily I was able to get a mirror for a 2016 Impreza with a newer revision of the same mirror and that worked fine. Chamberlain does sell a bridge to use with the older Homelink models but it requires power and you need to be closer to open the garage door. I have a couple available that I can send if someone pays for shipping.
