well i made it trough the winter with driving the box every single day on summer tires and no extra weight added anywhere on the car, and managed to install a intake and short shifter in between
i think that every boxster owner shold give a winter drive a try, car really likes the extra cold air if nothing else.

so far my impressions are as follows:
this year must have been the worst winter year in chicago ever, and aside from those hard snow days its been like driving the car in summer, roads clear up in matter of hours, and its like driving a car in rain (wet ground rather than snow), and i actually drove trough a snow storm on these ********************ty tires (sorry for the word choice, but its the most appropreate), and i will try and source some winter tires over the summer when they will be pretty much cheap.
so all in all, if you have all season or winter tires, its really not a big deal to drive at all, i would go to an extent to say that its actually fun to drive in winter
but today was a top down 54 degree weather in chicago and car sure loves not having any top on
