Default Porsche's Love Snow and Winter - Post up your Pics

Had some fun out in the snow, the car handles PERFECT !!

Lots of drifting as we made an ovel track in a large parking lot and could keep it sideways all the way around! some spin outs for fun and some "normal driving" too.

In Seattle it snows on average 1 time in 3 years, better enjoy it when its here. If the cars stay home I might go out later and get some daylight shots, these were pre-dawn.... Kids had a great time too!!!

Looks like fun. Do you have snow tires on there? I still like my 996 in my garage with a cover waiting for spring.

I'm with you Ed - I was out in the snow Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Great stuff!!

Looking forward to tomorrow too. (6-10 inches in the forecast).

p.s. If you keep those seats, you should look for my heated GT3 seat thread...

I need to figure that one out... Plus either teach the kids to use the video camera or drive the Porsche to get the shots!!

I might be able to post some snow shots after next April 1, when my storage ends.

We usually get some good dumps in April.

Where are you located, I am in Bellevue. A solid 8 inches fell here. Big surprise! I might go out later, this morning pics were with about 3-4 inches.

Thanks for sharing

We are getting 6-10 inches of snow by tomorrow - my car is going nowhere!

I remember having to dig my 944 turbo out of the snow years ago, it was my DD in Chicago. I drove home 35 miles only to turn down my street and plow/pack snow under the front bumper and get stuck - a block from my driveway...
