One day I had to drive it backwards home from a gas station because I could not get it up a small incline. The Boxster's balance and clutch sensitivity make it an OK winter car (not great). Good judgement on road conditions still prevails! But I couldn't park the Boxster for the whole winter!
The sand here is hell on our paint jobs and windshields (but at least it's not salt). Are you doing anything to keep the paint from getting chipped up while driving in the winter?
