Since I only have a single garage... I thought of getting a small car port (Tempo) and install it in my backyard, and store the Porsche in that... but... I could not find a soul that had any experience doing something similar....

Anybody?

I'm so happy that it's raining and it's going to rain all week!
Then snow!

Rod you still driving ?

I had the car out last night and it was running really well.. I think I am going to wash it at lunch however in case the rain continues and I don't get another chance.

Nope.
Went for a rip last week and put her away.
Still having a lot of fun slidding around in the baby bimmer.

I think this weekend might be the last, it'll be just around freezing and it'll be sunny so looks like it'll be good. If I can two weeks in December, amazing !

What are you guys doing?

The old girl went into her winter hibernation yesterday - sad day. Now it's time to get the 944 "winter beater" out for the winter!! New battery, seat and finally fixed the damn sunroof leak!

Stored mine today...

We had a surprise snowfall (actually... it was a long time coming) on Sunday. I got caught without a full tank or over inflated tires....


Today, the streets are semi dry... so I drove her down to the filling station, did a fill up. Will plug in the trickle charger tonight.

Damn...never hated winter so much

Does anyone use fuel stabilizer over the winter months? It helps in keeping the fuel semi fresh.

I do. $10 for a bottle of Stabil at Canadian Tire - I've never heard of gas actually going bad over the winter (maybe the cold helps keep it fresh?) but I always put one in to be safe.

Only if you are storing your car. If you are driving it through winter, no need for it
