Is that you in the black bikini? *NM*

Spring can't come soon enough and it's only 166 days to BRBS.

Fun Run. Hurray!

The darn cars are made in frigid Germany and Finland. Use it like it was designed to be used...year round!

If you need to master winter driving take a Porsche driving course in Canada: Driving in Snow

Snow, Ice salt, sand and such can be washed off at those self car washes, and the undercarriage can be sprayed clean. You love to clean your Boxster every day, so winter is a great reason.

Go play with it in the snow: Boxster Snow Angels

You can even protect your wheels with this interesting and cheap stuff: Rubber/plastic paint protector

Put a heavy coat of wax on it, change the oil, winterize it, put on snow tires, stick it in the garage during really severe weather, and drive it, rather than keeping it sooooo perfect, by not using it for half a year, that you can eat off it. Sorry, no sympathy from me over self inflicted blahs, my friend.

Just please don't wind up like this:

"A mile of highway will take you one mile. A mile of runway will take you anywhere."

The secret is the heated boots, Gary--and what they were getting paid for the shoot.

Great idea, Gary. I'm sure you won't mind me borrowing yours. I'll promise to wash it every day and treat it with TLC. I know you won't blame me when all the brake parts and suspension bits rust a bit from the salt and sand on the roads. The top part will stay really shiny, though.

The other problem is the snow banks, which make visibilty in a car like the Boxster almost non existant. And then, of course, there are the yahoos who don't drive according to weather and driving conditions. So, yes. I don't want the CURVEN8R to end up like the one in your picture, although, it would be more likely that the other end would be hit because I know how to judge the stopping distance. It's usually the guys behind me that I worry about.

Actually, Germany isn't that frigid in winter - Finland, well, that's another story.

OK, so when are you bringing your Boxster up to take me for a drive?

For what it would cost you to reimburse me for my time and fuel, you would have a very nice deposit for that 981 in your future

From what you've stated all the winter cars in Canada must be rusted out shells, and why can't you either drive around those very infrequent snow banks or just use your junker when it's that bad? The yahoos you speak about are around ALL the time, aiming at you.

Face the fact that you're overly protective of your 6 year old Boxster, that you secretly like putting it to bed for half a year, and that you don't deserve our pity for doing so, sissy.

I`ll trade you moccasins for the next 3 months.

Maybe the fact that you were so exited and FLATered caused you to forget.

I DO remember being in that picture, but for some reason, I prefer Gary's contribution.



Driving a new-to-me '09S in Aqua Blue Metallic. It does .5 past light speed. I made the Kessel run in less than 12-parsecs.

Probably because there's no garbage dump in my picture
