Maybe I was a little jealous that mine was at home covered up...

I'm a little spoiled driving my Audi Quattro with snow tires in the winter. Which is a BLAST!

No offense taken! I can imagine the Quattro would be a lot of fun in the snow! I had a 4wd Explorer as a winter beater for a little while, but I quickly realized that even on questionable winter days, it was sitting at home whilst I drove the Boxster. So I sold it.

I'm in northern Illinois and here are my Porsches...they'll get out one of these days (I don't think winter will ever end!) BTW, I agree with the Audi Quattro; drove them for years and had a blast. Now it's Jeep Grand Cherokee time.

i drive my boxster all yr long, no matter what the weather is, i don't understand people who don't. why would u spend money to keep a car under covers, after all its a piece of metal/machinery (its not your child haha) its made to be enjoyed

also, to those thinking something bad will happen to their cars if they seen snow/salt. NOTHING bad will happen. once a car gets dirty you just wash it. my dad has owned Porsches all his life some are about 20 yrs old and hes been driving them every yr with salt on the roads and theres no damage or rust..

This morning coming to work I drove on I-90 behind a salt truck for about two miles... I was in the Audi so the pellets of salt (and whatever else is in there ) hitting my car didn't bother me that much! But I would of really hated to be in the Box...
For me it's not the cold... its the pot holes... rear drive (regardless of snow tires) the rocks and sand they put down by my house, salt trucks, abuse on the suspension etc etc...

Oh but I live in Louisiana.....sorry guys...had to do it.

I disagree, it's ugly. I live a couple of blocks from Nick.

It all evens out, we have some nice curvey hilly roads to drive on. But hey, I'm up for a road trip and would love a plate of red beans and rice and some boiled crawdads

Don't worry so much, a car wont last forever anyway and even if it did you wont live forever so just enjoy the ride

although it would suck to be in Chicago right now haha i was just in Australia doing some surfing for about a 10 days and now im actually on the plane headed to cali
at least my flight was able to take off today haha ill be back in miserable weather in about a week though, hope it gets better by the time i get back
