The Europeans slap on snows and drive the hell out of the Turbos.

Those are the days my car comes out to play.
The right number of cars may be higher.
1. tt for every day (I prefer coupe for highway)
2. Sport sedan when you need to carry 4 (E55 for me)
3. Convertible for summer nights with wife ( we use Boxter tip)
4. AWD sedan for family/nasty weather (05 Audi A6)
5. AWD SUV tow vehicle (Lexusl LS470)
6. Vintage race car- if you want one to run, you need at least 2
73 Lotus super 7
53 Ward Kurtis
53 Stude (rebodied 1990 Winston Cup Monte Carlo- don't laugh)
9. Practice track car (Elise 190R)
10. Car I can't bear to sell (1994 BMW CSI, 160,000 miles)
Yes, I rent a warehouse. Necessary to store the trailer too. AS

Yea, whats up with the no turbo in the snow bit. Wimps! The car won't melt. BTW that is 8 inches of powder. This is the ONLY good thing about winter. The rest of the time it sucks

ROFL... if I were close enough I'd play 996TT football with you in the snow! That's frigging great. Some people won't drive in the rain and others do that

That is an OZ 930, not a CA 930 We only have 20 of them here.

Why do I live here, Hell if I know. Ask Roxanne

I like the plate as well.

I've heard that the news reports how long it will take human flesh to freeze when exposed to the elements in your neck of the woods. Any truth to this?
