Your Mistress has a wadrobe malfunction. One of her headlights is showing *NM*

Hello Everyone... it has been a long….very long….off-season….. and I am suffering from one major case of "I hate winter- itis".

It is only the 22nd of February, and here in Chicago….it could be another couple of months of white $hit…..snow and salt!!!! My beautiful mistress is tucked away warm and asleep in the garage… I cannot bring myself to wake her until the warm air melts the snow and spring showers wash away the tons and tons of car-eating corrosive salt off the streets….



I am afraid I will not make it to spring time without some help from everyone on this board...I need pictures, stories of spirited drives, videos of DE and AutoX…. of hearing the symphonic sounds of the beloved flat-six… I need help to make it to spring. I need your help!!!!!

Please share any and all pictures, videos….stories…. of all things Porsche and in particular of your Boxsters. For those in warmer climates…. Have pity on those of us who live for Spring, Summer and Fall Boxster Driving…. Wintertime is a long dark….and lonely season…..

Sincerely
Dan08BoxS

Temps went up to about 60 F today. Put the top down on my convertible ( NBC ). It's supposed to rain Thursday and Friday. But then it should be top down weather again. Almonds are in full bloom. Wildflowers are starting. Pictures soon.

Don't worry Dan, I'm with you. We got an inch of ice in DC last night. Made for quite a fun drive to the shop this morning to get some things fixed.

and I'm with ya! Definitely got cabin fever. Spent part of my off day yesterday looking at maps of the Little Switzerland, NC area trying to see if I could extend BRBS a few days and do something in the WARM! Even made plans to get the car to the shop next Monday to have it looked at before the DE at VIR. It'll be the first time out of the garage since the first of November.

Here's to warmer days!

I am with you on that! I would much rather cut grass.....do yard work that shovel the White $hit!

I share your pain, Dan. Sunny today, but well below freezing here.

These should help you warm you up.

Just south of Sedona, AZ



....and the temperature was: (41 C = 106 F)

She was actually winking at me......

I was out yesterday again - no top down; it was only 45 deg. My Box did hibernate for almost 4 months though.

Oh yes, the elevation here is about 20 feet short of 6,000 ft. Closer to the sun and all that.

No top down at 45 degrees???????? Definitely would have the top down around here.

Hey, I'd even think about the A/C.

beach bunnies too.

87 is the average age in the state!

If you move here John, you'll increase that average

I may oggle the beach bunnies, but I don't have any, Guenter

Not the average age I won't. But I will certainly up the State's B-S Output, which is saying something!

So what's holding you back? We have an excellent Boxster/Porsche indie shop locally.

It actually got warm here last week....the problem the thick layer of caked on salt was insane... I thought real hard about taking her out of storage.... but decided to let the spring rains wash the salt away.... before I do....

Don't use salt around here - good old mag chloride. That's if they do anything at all. Would you believe that Montrose, at almost 6000 ft in the Rockies doesn't have any city-owned snow removal equipment? When I lived in VA they had equipment; just didn't know when or how to use it.

Sorry Guenter, I used that 4 letter word.

Well....much to our chagrin.....there is more of that white s--t headed our way tonight… This storm will take us into record territory for snow here. I then hear we are in for an “active” weather pattern for the next week or so after that!!!! I wish I could smack old Al upside his head and ask him where the“ Warming” is and hunt down that damn Pennsylvania rodent that predicted Spring was right around the corner….

Yes… I know… I need help…
