I also will not take my car to an automatic wash, and since the hoses get turned off during the winter, I cant properly wash her at home either. That salt will creep into all the little nooks and crannies and fester there ruining her in the years to come. It's not a big deal for me to put her away for the winter, knowing that.
I agree. The issure is salt in addition to all the other drivers. We have more snow forcasted next next weekend. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

I took my hardtop off a couple of weekends ago when I replaced the serpentine belt.

Yesterday I took the snow tires/wheels off when I put it up on stands so I can change the spark plugs, flush the brake fluid, and replace front and rear pads.

Might also install the new B&B exhaust that's been sitting in my basement unopened since 2003 (won it at the Tampa Parade).

I dewinterized my Box about 2 weeks ago and it was not a day too soon! We had a brutal 2 or 3 day winter this year in Florida (but it felt more like a week) and I'm just glad it is over. :)

I finally took mine out yesturday! What a rush. Damn this thing is a rocket compared to my daily driven 06 Mazada 3. I forgot how much fun this thing is to drive. The sound of that flat 6 winding out to redline is so addicting I was like a rat hitting the lever for more cocaine in a test lab.

Mines back on the road with a fresh 60k service. I replaced the plugs and flushed the brakes today which were the last things that I needed to do.

Just dewinterized mine today. Even though we got a good amount of snow yesterday, the roads were in decent shape, and boy was it fantastic to get in the Boxster again.
