Default Winter in Chicago

Strange looks from the joggers on the lakefront, but I didn't get stuck.

That looks like fun! (Was 92ºF in the shade on my back deck today). I'm missing winter!

Yes, you can see "Carrera 4" clearly in the 3rd pic.

God I would kill for 92 degree heat right now. This week it's not even suppose to get out of the single digits.

Oh well, mb1, I have practically the same 911, except mine is a C2S. Same Victor rims and everything. I think I saw your 911 valeted over at Emilio's last winter. Clark and Fullerton.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When we get 10 inches of snow, make doughnuts... Great pics!

I was trying to spin cookies in a Jeep Laredo Fri night. Didn't work. Talked about getting the Porsche out for some fun in the snow, and my girlfriend told me I was crazy. I shouldn't have listened to her! Looks like fun!

mb1,

That looks like the Diversey Harbor parking lot. It'll be a while until anybody needs to launch a boat so keep it up but remember where the tire spikes are.

It looks like you were having more fun than the kids on the sledding hill [top right of second pic].

Great for the skid pad work.
Takes me back to my Michigan days. Have you towed a tube or saucer yet?

I'd post my "Winter in Chicago" pics but not as exciting. A 997 in the garage with the cover on it.

Looks cool. Just curious- what is PSM doing during this? Is it trying to fight it?
