Looking good, glad the weather finally impoved for you, that's a long time to not be able to drive it!

 

Nice looking ride!

I see these 991 spy-shot videos with the dudes neck deep in snow - can't even see the road. Looks way cold to me. They probably have really good insurance though.

 

per the title of the thread, is there a certain temparture that doesn't allow it to be driven? :P

 

What is the freezing point of gasoline?

 

-100 to -150F for pump gas depending on additives.

 

Those who have only summer performance tires cannot (or should not) drive their cars when the temps dip below 40 degrees as the rubber hardens like a hockey puck.

 

I have read that. I have driven M3/Porsche during the winter on cold DRY streets in NY for the past 10 years on good performance rubber w/o noticing any profound difference. I would not do any timed 0-100 runs but traction and braking are ok for controlled ( ie 5/10ths driving). Helps keep the oil and blood circulating. This was the only thing that 1999Porsche and I ever agreed on: tire companies want to sell more tires. (OTT: I wonder what happened to him? Haven't seen any of his posts in quite a while). On the other hand I am sure traction is less than optimal so do what you think is best.
