Got caught in snow with summer tires!

Winter beaters are cheap and require no care! O-ops, someone bumped into me...laugh it off!

Ya winter beater might be way to go. Gonna be hard to convince wife to get 3rd vehicle as I've got a sportbike as well though.

You guys are off base on this.


The Boxster is very good in the snow with proper tires. It's very balanced. It grips and climbs hills well. Even when it slides, its very predictable (and very easy to correct).


Best winter car I've had in decades. I'd say better than the wifey's front wheel drive Honda... Yeah, the clearance isn't great, but when do you really ever drive in deep snow?

Park the Boxster. Snow tires etc. blah blah blah. Get a winter beater 4wheel drive or something.
