okay we had a pretty bad snow storm come through here in Chicago last week.....the boxster handled it like a champ....not to say I wasn't nervous but everyone else was nervous too considering they were driving 15 miles an hour on interstate 90....
I had some cold weather problems ready...
1) windshield wiper fluid stopped coming out....I thought the motor was bad and had an appointment to take it in....started to work again once the temp came close to 40 degrees F....hmmmmm....the car is parked inside overnight also but it still froze up? locked up? don't know...
2) one scary moment sliding sideways on a ramp going like 5 miles an hour....I ended up facing the wrong direction no matte what I tried, then I remembered reading hear someone said sometimes to take off in 2nd gear, problems solved...I was able to get straight and start my 2 hour commute
3) The day it warmed up, I started driving and my steering wheel started shaking really bad over 50 miles an hour...not sure why, I got to work, parked, 3 hours later problem gone
4) lastly, the digital readout on my stereo is acting weird on a couple stations, where it tells you what songs its playing and such forth, need to have it looked at but I'm hesitant to take it in....cause I know they will find nothing wrong and I'll be stuck NOT drving the boxster...and that to me is the worst thing on earth!
so it can be done, I personally wouldn't do it without snow tires....DJ is a daredevil
