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.
