Yes! Of course there is! In fact it's four patches and they come as part of a winter tire package that very easily sates your craving.

Only cure for the craving is to drive it! Slap some snow tires on that thing and get it out on the road.

You have to discover one of the great things about the 911--it handles GREAT in snow!

Holy crap! Were you having fun with a truckload of fire extinguishers? We Texans don't know what snow is.

Its the new Nicorette Snow Tire and Wheel kit, eh? I can't believe a Canadian won't drive in the snow. I thought that foolishness was reserved for us Yankees.

If you really don't want to drive your P car in the winter because the snow and salt, buy a fun beater like evo or wrx sti will help a little bit...

Think of it this way, every year after the snowy winter season has passed, you can look forward to that new car experience again. After a 4 or 5 month layoff, any car is going to feel new again. What fun!

I am also craving, to get out of the break in period. I am running every errand for my wife that I can volunteer for, picking up lunch for co-workers, you name it. Just trying to get the miles on the car as quickly as possible, heh.
