Last year we got about 400cm of snow in Montreal ... and some may remember the pics I posted of the snowbanks taller than the car.

This year ... old geezers are predicting even more snow, and a buddy told me they are predicting 600cm.

That's a lot.

Of fun.

Chris from Cali has a reputation beyond repute

It's fun when you've got a torquey all-wheel drive sedan with snow tires... When you have a low, rear-wheel drive sports car, it's something else.

Mine are going on next weekend...I would put them on this weekend but I'm working. No snow in Boston yet but the temps have been getting down in the 30s.
Fortunately I never got around to putting the summer rubber back on the Cayenne - OOPS!

Dave, you know I've been doing the whole "What if I'd bought that Turbo or C4S off Sanner?" routine... The 911 bug is KILLING me. The thing is, I might be able to get one AND keep the RS4. That would be a winner. I am looking forward to your 2008/2009 vintage "Coochas in windshield-deep snow" pics.

With the economy tanking, this might be the best time to get a TT or C4S... I'm sorry, I shouldn't do that!!!!!!!!
