Wow, that looks like a blast! I would absolutely be down for a driving course in the snow and ice, just not in my personal car!

Bah, Humbug! That is normal winter driving conditions around here. I actually own one of the cars used for the winter driving event held in Colorado a couple of years ago.

With modern snow tires you would be amazed at how well the 911 performs on snow! Everyone should try it sometime while owning a 911.

Yup. Agreed.

I'm also amazed to learn from the video that Porsche have apparently built 4WD versions of the GT3 RS and the Cayman. Because everyone knows you need 4WD if you're going to drive these cars in bad weather, right?

Porsche has been offering these for years now. Their travel club mixes it up in the winter and offers fun off roading stuff during the summer months. Very expensive but I hear totally worth it.

Our road is ice iced up good now, my wife said the other day she really enjoys watching my fat assed car slide from side to side while going up the road. We changed plowing services this year and I think the new guy only comes when someone calls him.
