To all Canucks, I'm in Kanata and running strong with my 986. No plans to store it, not yet at least. And perhaps not this winter at all, since they are expecting a warm winter. Drive on....

It's the thought of the corrosive salt/slush crap permeating into the nooks and crannies of my beautiful baby that motivates me to store her until warmer weather. No snow yet but they have already started laying down the salt.

Mine is stored but I kept the insurance on just in case. I don't see any winter in the forecast.

Both of my sons in Calgary have had to replace windshields in the two years they`ve been there. Most people don`t bother if it`s not in their line of vision.

I run 17' Blizzaks on all 4 they work great.

May I repeat myself.......Bastard!!


I took the insurance of mine for Dec 1, and put her away. The weather we are having up here right now is killing me!! But like others have said, it isn't the snow that scares me, it's the salt scares me off the road.

It happened to me when I had my 944. Put it away too early, but it was an 88. My 986 is a drive all year. Hardtop and snows.
