tkids, love the pics... the last one (rear end) especially.
We've not had out snow yet but here's one from last year. I know it's a lame effort for snow but it's the best NC could do at that time of the year... just as well because we drove the Tail of the Dragon that freezing day!
Once again love your pics...and... great color!

You know, it's not so much driving it in snow. It's the other A-Holes on the road that do not have a clue when it comes to driving in snow and these tools have big SUV's with all-wheel etc. But they forget all that weight and ABS just do not have a chance in slick roads. Add in Mini-Vans with soccer moms on phones calling to tell someone to hold off dinner, meanwhile, the in-van video entertainment is on, kids screaming, fighting over what to watch etc.
I can't tell you how may close calls I have with my company vehicle with these fools. Most end up (if lucky) off to the side or in the woods. The unlucky ones are smashed into other cars/trucks etc. Some are rollovers. As I drive by at a safe pace and distance, it's amazing how many wizz by me later to be in one of those unlucky issues.
No thanks, and since my car is a C2S with Aero, I'm not acting as the towns snow plow with that lip on it for one, and two wheel drive in my area is a challenge in really bad storms.
I use my beater car or company vehicle for winter.

Great to see someone driving the car in the snow and not babying it!!
My C2 is quite happy in the snow with the proper tires on - the Porsche is not the issue, it's all the idiots in 4x4s who think they are invincible you have to watch out for......

My Worst Commute......EVER
So there was a snow storm in Boston today. Now ordinarily I feel like Boston and its residents understand what to do when there is a storm, but for some reason, everybody was a total f-up today.
The first pic says it all: it took me nearly 4 hours to drive less than 6 miles to get home from work averaging less than 2 mph and as many MPG. People just abandoned their cars everywhere....in all my years as a New Englander, I have never seen anything like this. Cars were just left for dead w/o even the flashers on. When I started home from work, the car had zero snow on it (it was in a garage)....by the time I got home there were at least four inches on the front hood.
I must say that my C4S absolutely rocked today in the snow....I mean it really rocked. The snow was fairly deep in places and while many cars were stuck/being pushed, my car had absolutely zero traction trouble. I just love my car more and more every day.

That is brutal, absolutely brutal! I may be playing around in the snow with my C4S, but you actually are out in the snow war zone. Great to hear of your conquest!!! Great pic of the dash!

There was actually a thread about stopping the SC at 911 or 997 - I can't take credit for the idea but it's a great way to keep that wart lit up and it's the best use for it that I can see.

Just the local Classical music station with intermittent 'crappy weather' reports. I tried to keep the ambiance as soothing as possible.
