Driving the Boxster in the snow.

[Giller]

As much as I'd love to zip around in my Box all year - just too much risk up here in the Great White North. Wouldn't want to total my ride cause someone forgets how to drive in the winter and slides into me. Small accidents with these cars can be very costly.

Not to mention windows frozen shut,( dohh, can't open the doors), ice damage to roof and back window, sandblasting, calcium and salt, wheel well ice blocks ripping up the wheel wells or hitting the ones that fall off other cars...

Yeah, yeah, yeah; who cares! Show us the temperature in July or August when it's 115°. If we wanted to live in "hotter than hell," then we'd all move to Tucson (I was born there and I couldn't leave soon enough !).

Oh yeah!, well you say that now, but you have to drive around the Grand Tetons, and around lake Jackson, Yellowstone, and through the mountains and forests and grasslands, past moose, elk, buffalo and other world class natural scenery... and somehow I think maybe I'm not making my point... or maybe I am.

Snow covered roads in Oklahoma scare me. I grew up in New Hampshire and Maine, lived in Germany for six years (Bad Kreuznach und Ansbach), and spent a couple winters in the 'lake effect' by Tug Hill, NY.

A light snow in Oklahoma is worse. There are no fleets of snow plows and sand trucks. The base of the snow is usually ice. Nobody has snow tires and few people have experience driving in it. Every 'cowboy' (and Indian) with a 4x4 thinks he is invincible and has to get out on the road and drive like it was dry pavement in the summer. The body shops can't keep up.

This is my time to gloat! Allow me this pleasure

Of course from May through October is when it becomes severely unpleasant to be driving around in a black car with black leather seats. That's when it gets garaged and put on the battery tender.
