I've seen a noticeable increase in porsches on the road this winter around my area. I only drive 8 miles to work and pass a 911 almost on a daily basis. Maybe it's the same 2 or 3, and I've just talked myself into believing that everyone is buying porsches now.

Repeat after me: It's just a car...it's just a car...it's just a car.


Seriously, I didn't know there were so many P-car guys that were so interested in fine art, i.e. staring at a car in the garage for several months a year. If anyone needs me to describe what driving a 996 is like, just PM me.

I got one for Christmas! A Genuine Porsche snowbrush. Instead of bristles, it has a natural rubber blade. Pretty cool, in a silly way.

Pretty sure a lot less. My kids got it for me. They're cheap.

Washed up and running on dry streets. In 20 min from the time it was taken it started snowing again, wet roads covered in salt.





updated with a few more from today

I have my new wheels and I took her out for a 300 mile round trip this weekend. What a blast. I had more thumbs up from people driving next to me then I do in the summer.

Those Blizzacks are fantastic.

I know I made the right decission. Cannot wait to drive her home tonight.
