DONT change the oil and let that be an excuse for you to 'have' to take it out once a week. Problem solved.

If I could afford to have an extra set of winter tires laying around, yes. However the way they salt these roads up here I'd have a pitted rusty mess in a year or two...so I'm kind to my baby and I park her.
JayG, you got an extra bedroom and spot in the garage? Me and the box are coming...

We had salt. There was snow piled on the side of the road but if the roads were clear and it was melting. And then in NC they brine the bridges.
The Boxster is well rustproofed and I've never seen rust on anything but some bolts on the exhaust pipe. Not a 356 or a 912 in that regard.
Sadly these 986 era cars are $5-15k folks, not collector cars you will sell to fund your retirement.

I can't say I experience driving in the snow ever (LOL) but can't you just spray the car down with fresh water (e.g. hose) after driving in snow/salts to mitigate 'rust' worries?
Heck, I want to take my boxster to the snow and let her loose.

Just bring it down here to San Diego and play in the snow
Just kidding, we don't get no snow

Funny thing about the winter, usually Temps don't lend themselves to spraying things down. Unless you want to coat your car in ice that is.
One time I had the car out on Christmas. No snow, and I thought it would stay that way...it snowed as we were celebrating and I had to drive a half mile to my in laws with summer tires. Scariest experience of my life.

What will you be doing before you store it? Change your oil or not? I stored mine and I didn't change it will do it in spring when it comes out. By the way that's a great report.

This thread is just wacky. 
Why not just encase the car in carbonite and never drive it? If you're really that worried, just start it every couple of weeks.
It's just a car folks...some on here would have you believe that it's a super special delicate little flower.
