Default winter tires on last night

Put the Winter tires on my DD last night... They are calling for 2-4cm tonight at home, and 10-20cm in Wingham where I'm working tomorrow....

end of the clean dry roads for me..

Gotta to make sure my drive clean and license sticker is up to date on the boxster, and she's going to bed with some stabil and air'd up tires...

I must be getting old... starting to dislike winter more and more each year...

I actually enjoy storing my car strangely enough, could be because I drive a classic , I am getting older , and I have had Porsches off and on for about 20 years.

When I roll it into the garage I have a nice feeling of a survived another season of nice driving without any major incidents, I know the car is safely tucked away and although I enjoy driving it, by November I have had about enough and wont miss it till the following April.

Switched my wife's tires over and only the fronts on mine last night. Will do the rears after tonight. This winter I'm finally putting the 996 inside until the engine is re assembled. The 928 is staying outside.

I did both cars Tuesday.
Snow brush and shovel and jumper cables.
If you have different nuts or bolts for your winter wheels.
Make sure you pack your oem bolts for your oem spare.

if you've got the talent....

actually, that light is always on, when the cruise is on, but not activated... I rarely turn it off...

i rarely drive with cruise control activated... I guess I should turn it off...
