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

Drove to work this morning on the Salt Plains of NJ's 295. 13 degrees in the AM. The Boxster was a little stiff but she warmed up well. We're both a little stiff moving around when it's that cold. 19 degrees on the way home, I almost put the top down

I also drove it to work this morning.
However, on the way back home, I had to put the top back up.
It was 71 this evening. Too cold for me

Edit: I'm usually a nice guy, but this time couldn't resist.

You certainly are the brave one. While I know I could drive mine through the Winter, I don't want to subject it to the snow and salt (especially as it's my first Porsche and hasn't been outside of CA until now). My 185K-mile '99 Acura CL with a slipping clutch is keeping Boxster from the harsh elements.

Up heah in Maine it is damn cold, but I have a little clock in my head that keeps track of how long it's been since I've driven the Box. Today, the alarm went off so I had to take it out and "run" some "errands". It's so cold the roads are nice and dry (read frozen solid).

Anyway, the oil's been heated up and circulated, the tires and brakes spun, and the battery has gotten a charge, so she's back to sleep for another few weeks.

Waxed the wheels and wiped the entire interior with 303 Aerospace Protectant (good stuff).

These are 987 Fabspeeds. I'm looking for a engine to rebuild next.

Drove it in the Performance Driving class at Sears Point. Set the fastest time in the autocross (29 sec). Had a blast on the track!

What kind of tires do you use for autocross? With that kind of claim pics are needed!

Took my Boxster down to Sydney Harbor after a solid clean and wax job.

How long was that course? We do a mile course, everyone's happy below 80 sec.
