Check out the outside temp reading on my dash. Brrrrr. And it was 59 degs yesterday - I almost put the top down! 58 deg change in one day is hard to take. I'd rather have a couple inches of snow any day over cold.

I have never driven below 0° the coldest it has been is about 9°. I'm curious, will the Boxster display a negative mark if it's below 0° ?

LB I need to introduce you to a friend of mine, she can teach you how to drive in 4+inch heals. She is 5-1 and she has to wear heals to drive or she can't push the clutch pedal far enough. Never seen her drive in less than a 4 incher.

I drove my car this weekend in -28C or -18F weather and the display did show minus number. Boxster do not like to start or drive in this kind of weather. My car has so much torque that it is not easy to drive on icy condition. This is the time I wish I have a SUV.

Wow, that's some skills! She is my hero. I can't even imagine.

And all of you with your 1 degree weather and such, I would DIE! I really think I'd freeze in that kind of weather. My New Orleans blood is just not made for it. The only time I've ever really seen real snow of any substantial amount was in Rochester, NY, and I could not get warm the entire time I was there, even inside my friend's house.

You want snow? Sorry, my boots don't show in the picture. Northern Illinois is not a nice place to be in winter; the Porsches are snug in the garage under covers.

Hey L-bunny...

...are those boots Christian Lo-Boos? The red sole kinda gives it away. Wife was looking at a pair of red pumps, $500 bucks worth.... Egad!!! Not that she is hurting for sexy pumps mind you but she claims she will save up for a pair.

My boots are like Grizzlys but I don't carry a weapon on a regular basis (yet!) I think the Grizz was about to score some roast duck fodder right after the pic was taken but I could be wrong.

Just missed getting a set of 18" shoes for my Boxcar by about 15min on Ebay. I am still screaming and kicking myself for not bidding just a wee bit higher. Ah well, we live and never learn. "No fool, like an old fool"

Snowing in Las Vega, arriba!!! Does anyone still subscribe to the Global Warming myth?
