Just installed Bridgestone Winter Duellers on both Jeeps this week - a necessity in the country roads around my place. Bob - if you've driven around Rigaud Mountain, you'll know what I mean.

C'Mon gents, Porsches make great snow cars... just as long as you have snow tires on them. 
It's been a couple of years since I sold off the snows for the P-car. And I had an excuse. I did that to fund a set of Pagid Blacks for the track.
I miss it. Outside of the race car graphics, I drove it year 'round in full race configuration. It was still a great winter car. World's fastest heat, heated side-view mirrors, ABS, mine even has headlight washers. A practical Porsche indeed.
I miss those days.
So, to any and all P-cars wearing snow tires and plodding through the white stuff this winter, I salute you. Dr. Porsche would be proud.

If I had kept the 996 it would be my DD sun,rain or snow, however no need to drive one of my convertibles with plastic rear windows in the snow when I can drive one of the 2 4x4s or the awd car.

When I first got my car in 1996, I drove it year round. It performed great with my 16" Flat dish wheels and 4 Blizzaks. It was great fun with passangers who could not believe I drove it in the winter and I always had to show them just how well it handled in the snow. Then I had the conversion done and due to the new brakes the wheels no longer fit so I sold them.
