There is a 944 here somewhere!

Here are a few pictures of my house after the recent snowstorms in the north. Believe it or not, there is a 944 somewhere :-P No fears she was well protected before the snow came.

Actually Sam (the Basset hound) got lost in the snow only the other day It was so high he couldn't figure where he was. Also the car is actually Black so you can imagine how much snow is on it.

In this case it’s not a problem with "junk" in the garage, but a matter of 7 cars and only a 3 car garage due to builder restrictions. The 944 sits out, but the 1999 911 C4 sits in

God.

You know, what I was saying last night right before bed was "Man, do you know what we could really use? More snow!"

NOT.

Today it is about 75 degrees with a slight breeze.

By 2pm it will probably be around 80 + ...might have to turn on the a/c.....hmmmm or maybe take the sunroof off on the way home

Yeah I actually have a leaky sunroof and rear hatch, so I covered the car with a fine plastic around the sunroof and hatch and then put a car cover over it. Hopefully when everything thaws out I won't have a nice nest in my back seat!

I've done that one... I think I'm obcessive-compulsive about things like that. I always find myself unable to sleep wondering if I had shut something off, closed my windows, etc.. It drives me nuts.

are you sure YOU didn't put all that snow on just to maximize your COLD AIR INTAKE!

Well the car is cleaned off now, but I just thought it a funny picture at the time. Besides didn't you guys know that dumping 18" of snow on a car will increase its performance?
