Saw that this morning on the Weather Channel....living in Buffalo I feel for you guys. Right now it's 71 and sunny (sorry).......very similar to San Diego (visited often when my brother lived there).

Well I was bored so I took my snow blower and blew away the snow behind the trailer. Then cleaned up the car, knocked all the ice I could reach off the trailer deck, took a deep breath and got the car off the trailer and into my garage!
Woohoo!
Trailer isn't moving for a few more days tho, gotta wait for the snow to melt before I can get it back into my storage space, which will be a complete mud bog I'm sure.

Well it's been snowing here the last three days. Awesome spring weather in the Rockies! Took some time to get the rest of the tasks done on the car.
I replaced the starter as the bendix was bad on the old one, making starting a hit and miss thing. I also had the headliner redone so it's no longer sagging and flapping in the breeze. Then yesterday was graphics day. I think they came out pretty well, the motorsport flag pattern looks pretty good against the silver.
Next up is oil change and start working on replacing the cooling system...

Thanks for the update! Would you mind starting a new thread and putting your updates in there? Very interested in how your build progresses, and it is definitely worthy of its own thread!

The Gx470 is my wife's car, I have a '06 Cayenne Turbo S that I use to tow with. The Cayenne tows like a dream, plenty of power, very stable.
I've never towed with the GX although I suspect it would do fine. I think it's rated for more weight than the cayenne and has air suspension like the cayenne.
I can tell you that between driving the two on the street I much prefer the cayenne. The GX drives like a truck and feels very heavy and ponderous.
