Black Boxster in DesPlaines today...

[bmx672]

Man, it looked white from the salt... it was really cold too... I just don't understand. I mean, I'd buy a junk car just for the winter if I had too. I would never do that to my Boxster.
Am I crazy?

To some a car is just a car,a means of transportation from one location to the next,nothing more.

To some it's a lifestyle.

To each their own.

Yeah, I know ... I just spend too much time here I guess... I LOVE my Boxster and dreamed of owning one for years... so my perspective is a little different I guess than some..

Talk about cold...
When I pulled out of the garage this morning the temp reading quickly fell from 40 to 26. Four blocks later it was at -5. By the time I got to work, it was reading -8.

MINUS 8 FREAKIN DEGREES. Plus a 15mph wind for a -30 wind chill. This is getting old.

But 3 wks from today I'll be in Temecula, CA enjoying 4 days of golf. :dance:

Porsche designs the cars to withstand tough winters and they will hold up better than most with proper care.

I must admit my Boxster stays mostly inside during the colder months but I put winter tires on my 911 C4S and zip around SUVs in the snow with many a bewildered look here in Chi-town. I say drive and enjoy! ;-)

i drive mine all winter, and it always looks pretty much clean...well other than past few days where its freezing everywhere, but other than that i always keep it clean.
afterall, its just a car, take care of it, wash it once a week or so in winter, and its gonna be fine.

Nice Car Husker. Love that color, good luck with it.
I agree with Yellow Jacket. I have summer tires on Boxster now and can't drive it when it's in the low 30s. I'm changing them out by next fall and will drive it when ever. Why let it sit.

daily driver here in chicago....its the only way to go.....I have the snowtires on and zip around quite confidently.....I would miss the car too much storing it
