Boxster or lawn mower?

[Disaster]

You think your Boxster needs to stay warm?!? Keep it on a battery tender and let it freeze.

I leave my car in the unheated garage, the mower is in the shed. Looks like I put it to sleep for the winter just in time.

OMG, winter hit N. FL. today. Temp dropped all the way down to mid-40's. Will my Box survive???

With the convertible top being a Plastic of some sort, and the extreme cold and the weight of the snow, I would store it indoors over the winter to avoid unnecessary stress on the top.

I suppose this could warrant you buying a hard top for outdoor winter storage
or some kind of structure to protect your $65,000+ car.

A car lift sounds like a good idea too

Ask your wife where her other friends park their $65k cars over the winter?

The weight of the snow isn't an issue. But, the snow doesn't allow the car to breath and the dampness can cause issues. I used to store my car outside under a cover and it is important to keep the snow brushed off the cover.

Haaaaaa, thanks for the reminder why I choose to live on the West Coast.
Its easy to forget when it hasn't rained in 9 months and the water bill is exceeding the electrical bill.
Its a chilly one here today, it actually rained from last night to this morning and its only 65F out.....brrrrrrrrr!
