I am working next week, Wednesday through Friday. We have the 24th and 25th off.

The Boxster has been in deep sleep since mid-October, in my off-site storage facility. I won't see her until late April.

I take a peak at the 993 Turbo, since she's at home in the heated garage, every once in a while, but ya can't see much:



I'll have her out in late March if all the salt is rinsed off the roads.

The Turbo looks very comfy...sad to see them have to sleep so long. It's warm enough here all winter to drive but sometimes they expect ice storms and put all that liquid salt on road and it makes the car turn white so I wait until after a good rain washes it away.

Thanks! Actually, the "rest" does the 3 of us very well. Here's how she looked before hibernation:
