Default This sure isn't Turbo Porsche weather.

Hey guys have sympathy for us North East drivers this winter. There isn't a snow tire out there that would help in the weather we've had this year. Here are a few pics of why I haven't driven in over a month. Can't wait for spring.
My car is winterized with the all important car cover on it. Tires overinflated, battery maintainer plugged in, and the gas tank filled. Absolutely nowwhere to go. For those who live in warm weather climates keep posing your experiences and pics. For now, it's all we have.

I have only one thing to say. Move wow hot summers down here are way easier to just turn AC down. We shut down with 2" of snow you have four feet. We would die.

Drive mine all winter. No snow tires so don't drive it in the snow but most roads are fine a day or so later. It gets dirty, I wash it.

I left early this am in my turbo and went to the ncrs corvette meet at old town in orlando and then to the mecum action in the afternoon and was wishing I had worn my shorts instead of my jeans! You guys just need to move on down like everyone else!

My 997S has been sleeping in it's heated garage since late November. My two Dodge 4X4 pickup trucks are getting a good work out in this snow. I have never ever seen a winter like this nor can I remember one like this since childhood. It just sucks.

Nice that you have a heated garage. I just may have to add that. At least I could wash and detail the car. Would have to put a drain in. But it would give me something to do. This is misery at its best.
