i drove mine w those summer tires, and man 315s are freaking wide, no traction for sht, but u still manage to drive it if u have some experience. i did pretty good i must say, not one thing hit, it was a different car too couse there was no weight at all in the back, so im 100% sure the box will do fine
i mean cmon, germany get snow, they built a year round car, so ill drive it that way. i didnt pay all this money to be leaving it in the garage, if i wanted that i woulda gotten me some 4x4 and a nice porsche poster to look at in the garage

As of yesterday, mine's officially oil changed, washed, waxed, fuel-topped, StaBil added, tires pumped, battery out, garage floor tarped, car covered, desiccant inside, moth balls around car, i.e. STORED.
Have yet to deal with the fact.

Pick up tomorrow
Well since I pick my '02 up tomorrow I don't see how it would be mentally possible to go through this winter without driving it on clear, dry days. I won't drive it through snow or heavy days of rain but the cold won't hurt it and I have this ...NEED... if you get my meaning.
Also got me xenon silver bulbs today and my battery maintainer for when we have a week or two of snow. Also bumper plugs and clear side markers in hand and looking at the '03 clear headlights and tailights......Good God what have I done ???

So it's ok to let the oil sit during the winter months (3-4 months), when it comes out of storage you just fire her up and way you go? The oil won't degrade or break down during those months?

Well not as simple as that but close. Read this thread:
Winter Storage
Contains both the before and after storage recommended procedure, written by Jim (MNBoxster) who has been storing sports cars during cold MN winters for years.
