Yes, I do really like the midnight blue.. especially at night. It is hard to keep clean but I don't really get too obsessive about it. Driving through a Toronto winter pretty much cured me of any...

I may be mistaken.. but I've always heard that cross-drilling was all about weight. Is that not a factor in the decision for cross drilling?

I've said it before and I'll say it again.. this car performs *spectacularly* in the winter. Assuming you have winter tires on, of course. Do the 2002 cars have the traction control? I never tried...

Add to this that everything I've read says to put thinner and smaller rims/tires on the car in the winter -- thinner so that there's a smaller surface area on the snow, allowing the car to sink in...

Depending on how Porsche handles it's pricing structure it'd be somwhere between $2000 to $2700. You'd have to call the dealer.. it was an item pretty much out of their catalog.

91 octane Esso premium gas here. As far as I know, only Sunoco sells anything higher (94) in Toronto and there are none near where I live.
