Seriously, a nice used Subaru with a 0-30 synthetic oil and seat and block heaters is in order.
Oh, yes and a garage.
Best of luck in ND and thanks for serving our country!

The area is real flat and snow clearing is usually good, except the occasional heavy blizzard. My commute wouldnt be more than 20 minutes.
I understand that I'll have to get winter tires and a hardtop but will the winter wear down hard on the internals of the car? I'm worried I might suddenly encounter a lot of maintence issues. My car is an 03 and its been great so far. There is a dealership 70 miles from where I am but I cant find any independent places that work on Porsches so far. I'm already hesitant of the place because of the ridiculous prices they are overcharging their cars by:

Any good advice would reeeealy be appreciated. I really want to keep her but right now it does not seem very practical  |
