Winter Tires going on this week

Only thing I don't like is lack of a block heater.

May put a glue on heat pad on the oil pan this winter.

This car rocks in the snow.

Put my snows on the CSS last Wed. Got around fine on the ice we had on Thanksgiving. But I need to replace the TPMS sensors - they're 8 yrs old and finally gave up the ghost. Apptmt on Fri.

When people ask if I drive my Porsche in the winter, I say in my best German accent, "dey have snow in da Fatherland!"

Upcoming anniversaries:
12/3 - purchased Sydney 3 yrs ago
12/31 - purchased Punkin 8 yrs ago (where does time go?)

Had an event at local P-car store Sat. The sales associate who covets Sydney offered a Boxster Spyder straight up for both of my cars.

Cold and snow sure beat earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, dust storms, and "dry 100+ heat" any day and increases the Boxster longing during long winter nights. Only 16 weeks 'til "Hi Ho (Arctic) Silver" sees the warm, joyous Spring sun again!
