Why the hell are you driving your Porsche in the snow?
Shoot, I bought mine so I could drive in snow. Drove it four winters on Snow tire in Iowa. Fantastic.
Don't need them in Florida. Need to get around to selling the wheels and tires. Would be pretty cheap if anyone is interested.

I completely agree! You're missing out if you keep your car under wraps in bad weather. Sometimes I wish we got some snow here (OK -- just once in a while
). I actually look forward to driving my car out in the rain.

Glad to see others keeping the faith over the winter. I drive mine most days, averaging 3000 miles a month regardless of weather.
I bought the Turbo because I wanted a car I was passionate about that I could drive in all conditions.

You call that snow???
Come up to Montreal and I'll show you some snow....the minute it gets higher than the spoiler, you're in trouble. and that amount is really nothing here. Our last storm gave us 45cm. The porsche won't even move more than a few feet.

Oh wait -- I forgot all about this -- we do get snow in the Bay Area (this was 2 years ago)

For all you brave souls driving the car in snow, how do you feel about, and deal with, the salt (and equivalent chemicals) spread on the roads?
Here in the Philly area, it's not the snow, but all those chemicals that keeps me from taking my car out when the white stuff blows around...
On my other cars, I've used Fluid Film and other protectants (as they have no option but to hit the roads regardless of weather), but haven't even considered "weatherizing" the turbo.
