I know Charles, we actually had wet roads

Yo do know I was being facetious :dance:
The Boxster is my DD and I drive it year round. It just doesn't rain much in San Diego.

If I was in a cold climate, I would still drive it year round. At the end of the day, it is still a car, not something that needs to be put to sleep for the winter

Yes, it is still just a car but here in the Great White North, not Toronto or Vancouver, but the True great White North, other than a Cayenne, Panamera or Macan, Porsches are best not used in sub sub sub zero conditions. Especially convertibles. I have my Fusion and may Escape to take the winter weather abuses and the Boxster would not be any fun at all in these conditions.

PS, if I was anywhere like San Diego I would use it everyday as well.
