Fred,
I hope everything turned out ok for both you & the car after sitting unprotected.
I spent the day getting new rubber & an alignment. Drove w/ the top down in 50 F weather to Mom's house and got promptly scolded about getting getting a cold. http://www.986forum.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif
Oh well, that what convertibles are for. http://www.986forum.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It's a beautiful day and everyone is out driving...except for me.
It's a madhouse out there, so I thought a lazy Sunday spent detailing the 986's interior and cleaning the garage sounded much nicer 
That darn wind won't cooperate, though. Why does the wind always blow into the garage?

Went to pick it up on Saturday morning. The drive home was awesome!! Put the cover on it in my driveway, and proceeded to watch a few inches of snow and ice fall on it overnight  WTF, this winter won't end!!!!

Today was the first wash of the season, to get all the dirt off from my last drive in December. It's been too cold to wash it since! Then off for the first drive of the season. I couldn't stop grinning!
