It got up to almost 60 here on Tuesday, so I drove home with the top down. When I bought the Box at the end of '06 I cleared out enough garage space to keep it inside. This year it just stays in the driveway and gets driven about every week.

I feel your pain, Bill

Mine's been sitting in storage since November 30th !

I'm half tempted to call djomlas and ask him to take me for a ride

I hope I can still remember how to drive stick when the weather breaks...

Nick

Mine's at the dealership right now getting its 40,000 mile service, some door ding repair and a detailing. Should get it back today. The weather's been ugly the past two weeks--lots of rain, but nice and sunny now. Can't wait to go for a top-down drive.

Sorry, I'm a jerk.

this thread got me thinking. Im from minneapolis, and yes -15. I often wonder why so many people live in these horrible climates... dispite the best summers ever. I store my car in the winter even though I see this old man in my neighborhood driving his 987 S white. Crazy *%#! - salt/ snow/ ice... crazy! So anyway in this kind of cold when you touch int. parts etc. stuff breaks. Is there any crazy people out there driving their push in these temps and how the porsche crest handles the cold. I know that Baudet, MN houses hondas cold weather test facility.
