Winter sadness

[m332is]

Put the 01 S away for winter... no 986 fun until April
In the meantime however, I can start planning the 2018 upgrades!!!

Winter?

I called an A/C repair guy at 9pm last night...

HA! Winter is when I do my annual maintenance when it's finally cool enough in the garage.

My depression is starting to set in. Probably put it in storage this afternoon. Rainy / overcast weather with lows in the 30's and highs in the 50's all week.

I feel your pain. Mine will be going away soon. But not today

My problem is that it is too hot in the garage to work to day!!!

Where is that Fan??

100F in LA

finally cool enough to work on the car in the garage with out a major sweat! - just took the hard top off for the "winter" driving! this car had ice cold a/c and I leave the hard top on during summer as its too humid and hot in summer to drive with top down, but for the next 2-3 months is our perfect boxster weather! sorry for your pain, come down south for the winter!

Why put away? Drive it in winter.

I thought October was the start of Spring ending sometime which ends in early June.

Ditto!!!

just bought a hardtop for winter driving, now thinking to go hardcore with new snow tires.

+1 for driving the 986 all winter!

You must have snow tires if you plan to drive below 40°, summer tires can turn into ice skates. More than one member here has learned this the hard way.

I live in the UK. If i put the car away for bad weather - it would only ever see the road for a couple of days a year !!

I dont like driving her in the wet and snow though and autumn can be bad because of the leaf debris.

Well yes in the mid west we are talking 10F and below sometimes. The DOT throws boat loads of salt on the roads to battle snow and ice so I don't think driving the 986 during the winter here would do it any favors.

Sadly I will also be putting my 01 S to bed this coming weekend if the weather isn't raining...

Most Porsche owners in Norway put their cars away for the winter. I'm not one of them.

I like that decal on the side of yours.

I lived in New England, Quebec, Illinois, Indiana.....I know winter.

I know your pain.

Probably going to order some snow tires and hopefully track down a hardtop soon. I have all seasons right now with plenty of life, but they weren't the greatest when I hit a random snowstorm in Wyoming a few weeks ago.
