Well you could drive that car every day. I can't drive my 911 every day.

I must say, when I had a 924S a decade or so ago, I had Toyo snow tires mounted for the winter months. It was a great winter car (except the Toyos were speed rated to only 100MPH). And, get this: It had HEAT!!! The old E doesn't really have heat. It has air molecules which once were close to something which was hot. Not that it needs it, this time of year, it sits in the garage, thinking of ways to get me to buy more parts from Pelican. Sigh.

You can drive a 911 in winter, put some studded tires on the rear and a plug in defroster and away you go, watch the movie downhill racer some time.

And the photos are strangely of the same color car, and seem to be of the same photographic quality....

Twenty years ago I drove my 924 as a daily driver all year round here in Sweden. No problems what so ever.

Mine did not have that shovel option though. Wayne, can I get that upgrade on Pelican Parts ?

The 968 and plow--I believe-- belong to Syd B over on Rennlist. It is his avatar photo and IIRC he did pose the shot just by parking next to the plow.

Looking at 911's in your rear-view mirror?

He said 924S. It has the 944 engine, so it's not grossly underpowered. It's good for 135 mph.

When you crack a joke, it helps to know what you're talking about.

Good pic, though.

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG

I was thinking more like 924S as a winter car = driving in the snow.

You drive over 100 mph in the snow?

Not that there is anything wrong with that....
