Here's what I did with my Boxster today: I sighed at it's covered form this morning after spraying silicon lube on the garage door opener screw so it would close at -7F. Then I day-dreamt about driving it in warmer weather as eked above zero in the afternoon.

I know fellow owners in Canada, the upper Midwest and the Northeast are suffering the same or worse. Even Johnny Danger's legendary Speed Yellow can't help us in these conditions.

I know how you feel. Same temps in MN. I look at the covered Boxster every day in the garage, and I can't wait for the next 8-10 weeks to pass so the snow and salt are off the roads!

I pass the time by sitting in the car, turning the steering wheel sharply and making screeching sounds.

Yeah, I know I need a real hobby, or I gotta up my meds... or both.

FYI it's legal to consume adult beverages while you do this!! I've gotten pretty good at ringing the trashcan with empty bottles without undoing my seatbelt!

Sunny afternoon

So I drove along the Mediterranean coast, in the South of France, with no aim but to enjoy the curves between sea and mountain. A Boxster dream for sure.

Pics s'il vous plait. In English that means pics are really needed here of your Box and in your part of the world.
