Porsche/Snow...do not mix
Have you ever seen anything more depressing than a newly purchased Porsche(4 days ) , with temp tags, sent to live out doors, with a foot of snow on her, unable to get out of the driveway???

I picked up my turbo from the rail yard in February a couple years ago. In Edmonton winter on Kumho 712s I barely made it on to a road. Mine also came covered in snow... guess that's what we get for buying a car in the winter.

I was expecting to see a brand new 997 wrapped around a tree or something!
The saddest part of that photo is the fact that the car cant be driven. Luckily, snow melts!

lol, 21 miles in a little over 2 and a half miles on the way home from work today. 30% tread left on my Michelins, lowered and way out of alignment, yeah it was a fun drive. We'll see if I make it to work tomorrow. I was actually doing ok umtill the snow was deeper than my ground clearance and bottoming. I had to clear the front valance twice, packed with snow and started running a little hot. I seem to be a bit late in finding a set of the cable chains for the tires, I would be golden then, lol.
The smiles and nods you get when passing stuck cars and semi trucks in a performance car. I wish I had a digital camera, the daily car looks like a friggin Snow Cat. Wish me luck tomorrow.

Meh.
My previous 924S lived outside. Hell, I had it at my university apartment where it was street-parked all winter in Pittsburgh.
They're exceptional cars, but they're still cars. And one of the best things about the 944/924S is that they are not nearly as picky as other "exotics". Sure, they need more dilligent maintenance, but they don't have any real bad habits.

Taken at 6 am. The roads are closed here.
Ok here's the pics of the 18" or so we got. 3" on top is frozen rain/sleet/ crusty snow.
Enjoy!!
