Winter modes

Have no other choice...

Just put Michelin Alpines on the GTO (it's similar to driving on marbles now), the Boxster goes into hibernation until March.

Snow tires on 16" wheels and a hardtop, drive on....

Yeah, what are these guys talking about? Winter??? I drove around most of today and until 9PM tonight with the top down here in Northern California. It's supposed to be up to 81 F tomorrow. Having previously lived in Wisconsin though I understand the concept of a beater car. I've got a 21 year old Honduh I drive as my beater and the Boxster sits cozy, warm, and dry in the garage at home when the weather is nasty.

For me, the sporty vehicles go into storage for the winter. I live in the Colorado mountains @ 8700 ft. It takes 4 wheel drive and some ground clearance to get to my house from about mid-December through early March. In Spring when you can finally take them out again, its like getting a new car.

Snow tires and a hardtop.

Hopefully I'll do that soon. My jack needs a new seal so I can't change the tires. I have to put the hardtop back together after getting it repainted, so I can't do that yet either.
