Was passed by silver Turbo S this afternoon as the snow started again in less than sunny North central chester county pennsylvania. I was using the "kids car" my p car was sleeping in the garage. While I'm a snow wimp that guy in the turbo certainly wasn't.

Very cool running lights. It was the first one I spotted in the wild.

Congrats to anyone that runs their Porsche in the snow. What I worry about are all the other clowns that drive in the snow.

ask any SDIQ liberal, it's global climate change (doesnt matter even if its in the wrong direction )

we have global climate change here on the west coast also.....spring started in January and the daffodils are more than a month early in the Skagit Valley.

Option 1: Garage the 911 all winter while it depreciates and you pay for insurance that you aren't using, while insuring a second car that you don't like driving as much.

Option 2: Put on a good coat of wax, winter tires, and drive the 911. If an accident should happen, use your insurance -- that's what it's for. These cars are awesome but not rare.

Option 3: Move to a warmer climate/state. I like option 3 the best.


I have done option 1 for way too many years. Time to go. I will miss the driving in New England with the mountains and the shore it's hard to beat.
And upper state NY.

How about option 3: Drive a fun AWD during the winter and smile at the shiny sport cars in the heated garage. Sorry, I guess I'm a capitalist pig at heart.

LMAO, yeah I'm a capitalist pig also but my car is the garage till the snow is gone. The '12 Golf TDI works well as the snow car. Of course the wife's Porsche Cayenne drives through the winter, so to be fair we a Porsche driving in the winter.
