As I promised...if it got into the 50s for just one day I would remove some rubber from my tires for each of my old friends up north, well yesterday I had 20 minutes before I had to go out of town so I drove like hell for about 10 miles. Here in Charlotte spring will be here very soon.

Oh TriGem2k, that is one nice car you have!

I feel your pain. Funny thing is I was just checking the weather forecast for this weekend and look what I see.

Sunny 67 deg for Sat and Sun.

Well. Didn't mean it that way. We've been having such nice weather lately I couldn't resist and just had to post our weather report. Last two months have been rain every weekend.

Even managed to have a gathering last weekend.

It is currently snowing to beat the band (4-6" est + wind). Looking back at this week, it snowed 5 of the last 7 days. :-(

I'm tired of winter.

Yes, sick of the snow too. Seems like there is more every winter.
This is the storm sitting on top of Omaha..........

Not to hijack this thread...but add to it.

But those of us who have winter blues
understand what its like to have to put the Boxster
away for a few months
So you all ......are not alone

in my case Nov 16 2010 was my last drive till....
probably end of april 2011

How about this
EVERYONE posting after this one should include a
pic of their 986 "put away" for winter
think of it as therapy for your brain
because we are all picture w#ores
Mine's in the garage with a blanket on it

2 more months....at least I have this forum to keep me sane
