Same here, you just need a hardtop and snow tires.

year rounder and I have no snow tires or hard top. I've been thinking of a Zeintop and 17's with snow tires. Probably a wise investment, well the tires at least.

Let me correct myself.
If you go all winter without washing the underside then you may have to worry about rust. But I have never seen a Boxster with rust, and speaking from experience you don't have to worry about rust if you you wash the underside of your car every few weeks in the winter.
There is no need to baby these cars, they where made to be driven. And the ones that are often have far fewer problems, in my experience
(Sorry, if my previous post came of as rude.)

Man, I don't know how you guys do it. I can leave the car in the garage for 4 days max, then I have to take it for a spin.
It's like storing the vagina in the winter time. That's crazy!!! :dance:
I just drove it this morning to work. It's going to make my day feel a lot better.

In winter? I just drive it. On the same high performance summer tires, even.
The Boxster is now my only car. If conditions are too bad to drive, I'll just work from home.

You probably already know that when the pavement gets much below 40 degrees, the high-performance summer tires quickly become very slick.... I recall seeing one post on the forum from someone who totaled his box driving it with summer tires in cold weather.  But that's probably what you meant about working from home.
I tried garaging my baby for the winter, but couldn't stand it. Now I put on the all-season radials and drive on.
