Although pretty, the white stuff doesn't help get the box out of its cage though.

Seriously, snow?!
It's in the 80's here already. Too hot for the top down.
Gorgeous pic, though.

I wish I had been kidding about the snow. On the bright side, It hit 70 yesterday and is looking good today. Top-down weather ahead! :dance:

DK, you must be in Northern WI, still trapped in snow cover. Milwaukee area has been free of snow's grip for about 3 weeks, but this past week was the first time temps rose above 40. Was able to drive a bit last Saturday, Monday and Wed.
This weekend we should be in the 50s or higher. Ready to daily drive it once again. Depending on your location, you're probably only 1-2 weeks behind.
PM me if you want to share (or vent) about Boxster life in WI.

Replaced the passenger side radiator fan. Not too difficult. I took my time and worked on another vehicle as well and made a day of it. It rained all weekend anyway so it was time well spent.

I took my winter wheels off (turbo twists) and decided to give them a touch up respray.
While working them over I thought i'd try something a little different and taped off and sprayed the center crest caps with green accent to match the car.

The wife and I drove the Jägermobile to Morro Bay and Ragged Point today. We saw more Porsches driving Highway 1 today than any other day. I would estimate approximately 30 Porsches on the road, including a small cluster of five (probably one of the local clubs), cruzzin highway 1.
We discovered there was a Kite Festival in Morro Bay today, hundreds of kites flying the skies with many spectators.

That's the easy part! Keeping them all running is almost as much fun as driving them. All of them except the 924SE had over 5000 miles in the last year.

Got out for the first time this year.
Yeah this year.
Huge grin the entire time, though. Felt great to get Udo out of hibernation.
Anyone in the Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge & Guelph area up for a cruise?
