Sunny and 50s in Buffalo through Saturday!!! I guess my Boxster will get a little more work in before the end of the season after all.

dont get me wrong, i see what ure saying.
but i just rather drive the box than any other car at this time, so i just drive it.
its not like everytime i take it out i think of the most negative thing that can happen to me

Have yet to deal with the fact.

Pick up tomorrow
 
Well since I pick my '02 up tomorrow I don't see how it would be mentally possible to go through this winter without driving it on clear, dry days. I won't drive it through snow or heavy days of rain but the cold won't hurt it and I have this ...NEED... if you get my meaning.

Also got me xenon silver bulbs today and my battery maintainer for when we have a week or two of snow. Also bumper plugs and clear side markers in hand and looking at the '03 clear headlights and tailights......Good God what have I done ???

So it's ok to let the oil sit during the winter months (3-4 months), when it comes out of storage you just fire her up and way you go? The oil won't degrade or break down during those months?

Well not as simple as that but close. Read this thread:

Contains both the before and after storage recommended procedure, written by Jim (MNBoxster) who has been storing sports cars during cold MN winters for years.
