I'm in the Chicagoland area this week and I am flabbergasted by the amount of salt I see on the roads and on cars.

I don't think I would drive any sort of decent car here during the winter.

I really hate the heat and humidity of Houston, but driving my box year round without concerns about salt are certainly a plus.

I say get the car out as much as you can guys...you'll never look back on your life and wish you drove the Porsche less. I took mine out yesterday and today, and will drive it as long as the daytime high is 5 degrees or higher (celcius that is..so to my American friends, 41 or so) and not pouring rain.

What a blast it is to get the car out again!

Yup! Today marked the second day in a row for me now! What a gas driving down the interstate with the Boxster again!
I like what carguy said about looking back on life... go for it!

I'm a little late in replying to this thread....we hit 70 degrees in NW Indiana (Valpo) Friday and the roads are clean over here so I got the Boxster out...I actually dropped the top for the first time since I bought it 6 weeks ago. I saw another Boxster in downtown Valpo...it was yellow w/black top...she waved, so I waved back.....it won't be much longer now and it'll be at least 6 months of top down weather.....SWEET!!!

It has been above 50 for 2 days in a row and raining right now. Took my wife's C-70 and the Boxster out of storage today. It may be pushing it but why not. it is no use having 2 droptops and not have one to drive whenever the weather allows. After having to drive a pickup all winter I need the Boxsters pleasures. Ed
