It's coming from my heart when I dedicate my drive that day to Kronix

and to all who's already suffering from the winter syndromes :dance:

May sound corny but wifey has asked me the other day, why do i have to say..."this is for my fellow 986forum members" everytime i put the top down before we pull out of the garage

it's okay, in the long run we winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! my car should out last any car drivin year around. meaning that i will enjoy driving my boxster for many years to come. as you will be forced to trade it in, because it has come to its end, by over use n abuse! n don't tell me ahh i'll just buy another one, nothing will compare to the feeling that you feel now. nothing can replace the boxster. yes you can go and buy another one, but nothing like your first love.

how's that for cornyyy.....lol

cruel is that your car will look like **************** after driving it through all those winters...lol

ahahahahaha! now' that is corny

I think mine would be in the garage right after Thanksgiving or 2nd week of December coz' it's getting foggy now in the morning plus the drizzle and mist from the bay might hurt the top...it will be stored for probably till February or early March...and them vroom...off we go

i think we all make good points, some people like to leave their cars in garage and drive other things, some people love driving their boxsters every day.
simple as that. if it was a motorcycle id understand, but a car that is capable of going trought winter like a freaking car should be and not be driven then thats crazy. i understand a snow storm, where even a 4x4 kinda car cant make it would be stupid to get ur box out and try and drive, but wow

on the positive note, my winter vacation from skool starts tomorrow and ends mid january, so i technically dont need to drive it, and if its gonna look relly messy out there box stays in till the next day

just to clarify, are you guys scared of ur skills in winter driving, or the car, or the so called damage that u may cause to your car from either ur skills or cars "inability" to get trough the snow? i think that may be a better way of putting it...

Just another reason not to put your Boxster in storage yet or at all. Next 4 days we anticipate 50+ degree weather here in the great Lakes/Mid-Michgan area.
Top's coming down, baby!!

You're missing the point. The Box is a high performance roadster, designed to be enjoyed on dry twisties, preferably with the top down. To the extent that none of those conditions are there, the Box enjoyment turns into a struggle, work. I COULD use a baseball bat for playing tennis, but I don't. Fear is not an issue -- common sense is.

I do drive my car throughout the year but if there is any snow on the ground, I leave the Box in the garage. I'm not scared of MY driving abilities (drove in Montreal winters for many years) but am very concerned of OTHERS driving abilities. I don't need a bonehead in his SUV who thinks it will stop on a dime on sheet ice because he has 4WD slammin' into me.

Sunny and 50s in Buffalo through Saturday!!! I guess my Boxster will get a little more work in before the end of the season after all.
