Honestly - I think I have more fun with my C4S in the snow than the summer.
I live in central MN, so summer is only a few months.........
I hear ya. But no. LOL

Thanks to Damon @ Tire Rack, I did exactly this. I'll let you know what I think after we get our first real snow...





I'm more worried about the idiot drivers around here than my car's mechanical ability in the snow.

CEO,

drive her in winter when snow is little to none. I take my 996tt out on occasion (once every 2-3 weeks) and its a blast...Im in montreal...

Advice for storage is spot on here...

biggest danger I've noted in the winter is my ability to stop WAY faster/shorter than the cars (and more so pickups) behind me. I have had to pull over and let more than one vehicle slide by me and right through an intersection. Now I watch my rear CAREFULLY.

Despite being 56, I still get a little adolescent enjoyment from easily driving away from the big jacked up 4WD trucks that always seem to want to race me from stoplights in the snow .............

Damon fron Tire Rack has helped me choose the correct winter tires for the 997.2 C4S as well as my Audi Allroad based on my location. Thanks Damon!

Good to hear, CMJ. I can't wait to try it out (not the getting rear-ended part).

Just turn off the PSM and have fun. Lonely winding roads with no trees are amazingly fun at less than 30mph when they are snow covered :-) You can learn to drift without burning through tires too!!!!!
