Thanks for all of the info!

We moved down here from Ohio, so I am hoping to get a few more driving days than up there before putting it away for the winter

Would love to get together for a beer and talk p-cars. I have been trying to decide what I want to do do to the car over the winter break.

Dcompress: What you should do is drive it!!! There are only very very few days around here you can't drive it......with proper snow tires. Find some used wheels (so you don't have to mount and unmount four tires every spring and summer), get a set of "insert desired tire here" and go! There are lots of do-it-yourself car washes around to keep the gunge off. I have the Dunlop Winter Sport tires (I think that's the model!..they're in the garage and I don't wanna go out and look at the moment) and have not "needed" to take out the SUV for the last two winters...since I've owned the Boxster.

That's my plan. Drive it all year. I have a set of 17" turbo twists that I'm going to mount a set of Blizzaks on and go for it. If things get too crazy I can always borrow my wife's quattro. I thought about a hard top but Bob O is right, there are too many winter days in KC that it creeps into the upper 60s and low 70s.

I am not putting it in storage or anything. Just kept in the garage except for nice days. I doubt there will be many top down days over the winter
