I'll be driving Baby all week as it's going to be 7- 10 C and no rain! Then she's going into storage for a few months.

I don't get it. Do all you people in LA really want those of us who live where it snows to move there  ? Don't you have enough people there already?! And did it ever occur to you California and Florida folks that many of us actually like living in climates with 4 seasons and snow? I've skied 6 times in the last 7 days within a 15 minute drive (in the Boxster of course  ) of my house! And in the summer I have hiking, climbing, motorcycle riding, mountain and road biking, fishing, kayaking, rafting, sailing, and of course great twisty traffic-free Boxster roads within 5 minutes of my front door. And no, it's not -20° F here all winter  . So please let us brag about how hardy we think we are when it gets cold without feeling too sorry for us .
P.S. I'd insert a picture of Boxy in my snowy driveway but I didn't take one yet.

It was 41 yesterday. 40 is my lower limit for top down. So today I may have it down. Pics if so!

I used to live in the the snowy north and after 13 years in SoCal I kinda miss it a bit, except for that frigid to the bone feeling which I now get when its in the 50's around here
I'd like to request some Pics of Boxsters in a fresh dusting of snow under a full moon.
Theres something magical about fresh snow at night and think that adding a Boxster to that scene with some natural moon beam lighting could only enhance the magic.

OMG, you didnt use a broom or worse to get the snow off the car did you?.....scratches...
You'd have to use a leaf blower to get the snow off the car I think.

Wow, look at the oil pressure over 5 Bar, you better get some thinner oil or let it warm up for a bit longer before driving it

I've lived in Phoenix and San Diego over the years...no thank you! I like things like cold and snow and actual changing seasons.
80 degrees in "winter" and a living hell in summer? I'll pass. Those guys can keep it
