Don't move to this Arizona town:

Ducks huddling down in the snow, (and no road salt.)

Like the ducks, I'm shivering. It's been cold, cold, cold here the last couple weeks. Looking forward to retirement winters (in the not-too-distant future), someplace warm, Boxster and golf friendly.

Arizona's on my radar - Any PPBB members live (or winter) there?

Yes, we purchased a retirement home in Arizone in 2010 while real estate was way down. Just a few more years and we'll be snowbird-ing there.
Depending on location, it's a nice city:
Bulhead City, AZ

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

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

That would get me up there....and for more than 4 hours

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

In that case, you should be up here by tomorrow. Cool. That way, I'll also get to see your new ride before everyone else at BRBS.

PS. Contrary to what you might hear on the news. The freezing rain has already stopped for today.

Your new ride will love it here. You'd love it with a bit of flavour and character instead of just plain vanilla.

Have to drive my old one to check the throw lengths, although that was a five speed.

The throw lengths are markedly shorter than on my 5 speed. It feels like a short shifter to me.

It does does it?

Don't worry, Gary. It'll get easier on your right rotator cuff once you get it broken in. It's all an age thing.

When I test drove the 981 back in June, I thought the shift throws were maybe 1/2 way between the standard 987 shifter and my short shift. I'm hoping that Porsche will offer a short shifter again. If not, hopefully, there will be a good aftermarket one again.
