Porsche endorses it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnTkcI5vI-U
I like the +/- 5% guestimate on car value. Sounds accurate to me. Keep in mind that's the price of a set of rims and tires, not much more.
Two thumbs up to those of you driving your toy year round!

People will always have different opinions, but it's sad to see somebody in our community come on here and go beyond posting their opinion, to the point where they are simply being offensive and talking down upon the other people on the forum as if they're all idiots.
Show some respect.

I wish my garage queen was worth twice as much as a driver. It's not. What mybe 5% more? The only thing I can compare it to is a brand new car, as far as condition. I have a camry I drive daily. I feel bad beating the **** out of it sometimes, let alone a Porsche. Anyone that drives a Porsche in the winter has *****, I will give you that. Just remember I live in Alberta. Winters here kills cars, dead. Attachment 411519

Having said that, I did ask a similar question in my very first post:

Retrofishy (Chris) with a Guards Red 2007 Targa 4 started it.

Why do you want to close it? It's very entertaining to read others opinions and sure beats some of the other boring threads.
Nothing like a good strong debate I say where all are free to participate.
Hey that rhymes.

My friend with a BMW was told that at the dealer back in 1985. He is now sorry he didn't listen to me.

Which warranty, the Porsche Canada or Krown warranty?
These cars are well treated from the factory, but now matter well treated they are, they will rust faster driving them in real winters. Even the cheapest econo boxes won't rust in 10 years, but who is to say they shouldn't last longer. For many folks, they don't care as they'll just throw away the old and buy another new one. Its a throw away society!

I bought it as a toy; an evening and weekend sunny day driver. Why would I drive it in the winter when I have a daily driver that is probably far more reliable and infinitely better in a snow storm.
I wonder how many of these winter drivers actually use it as their primary vehicle while having another vehicle at their disposal? I'm talking about those who actually take theirs out in the biggest of snowstorms, not some dry road event. LOL
I've spend quite a bit of time underneath it. I like what I see.

Nice car cover, by the way. I bought a CoverKing Stretch Satin recently. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. One might as well look after our fine machinery, anything less is disrespectful to the marque.

I don't think his point was to show you what winter looks like, the pictures were posted to prove to you that despite driving the cars all year round, they are in excellent condition and well taken care of.

Well of course they'll be in good condition, because they are not winter driven...as in driven in real winter driving conditions. Maybe the original thread starter refers to the season instead of the conditions. There is a huge difference!
