Driving the Boxster in the snow.






How these cars would handle inclement weather has always been a secret concern of mine.
The other day I was on a remote job out on country roads in the middle of nowhere and go caught out in a snow storm. The forecast was for possible light snow or freezing rain, but it hit quickly and heavily, accumulating fast.
I ended up driving a collective 70miles in the mess at night. While 4x4 pickups and SUVs were littering the ditches, the Boxster got me safely home without incident or even a white-knuckle moment. And I'm on Michelin Pilot Sports, not even all-season tires. She handled it just fine.
As a plus, I discovered that the fog lights and anti-lock brakes work fine on the beater.
