Drove my Boxster in the snow again.

Yeah I have been driving my car year round in rain, salt, snow, heat.

When I do regular maintenance or when I replaced my exhaust system with a performance exhaust, there was no rust down there. However, I did notice that the screw on the air filer hose clamp(connecting to airbox) in the engine compartment had a spec of rust and I was greatly disappointed.

That's why I'm keeping my car parked until March-ish.

My first Pcar, my first winter with it. I bought it to drive every day that make sense. Life is to short and this car make my daily drive something to look forward to. Getting home and putting it in the garage for the night is depressing enough. To do it for a season. I don't know how you guys can do it

IMO they are an appropriate winter ride in all but deep snow (such as we are getting today in Southern Ontario), but only with a separate set of rims with snows and preferably the factory hard top. I have a BMW X3 with the sport package and a separate set of rims and snows for the ugly stuff. Frankly, it is plenty of fun in the white stuff and much safer than the Boxster could ever be.

To me convertibles are meant to be good weather cars and like my sailboat, I hate putting my Porsche away for the season, but it makes spring all that much more sweet!
