Funny, you talk about 4 months, 8 months, and your car looks to be set up for the 4 months. Great for you. Most anyone with knowledge of cars and who works on them, or any shop of repute in OR knows that the cinders on the roads can do a different type of damage to the cars than salt. I've built Porsches and other cars for many years, and I'm in that club.

I'm not going to compromise the height and setup of my car used for the 8 months of driving that I (and most) enjoy, sprinkled in with some track time. Again, form does follow function, and I choose the form that is really what Porsche's DNA is based on. I'll take my Chevy 4WD or the Subaru to the snow, when I need to.

That’s a shame, you’re missing out on the best 911 driving central OR has to offer. We are blessed to live somewhere that’s doesn’t use road salt and has a countless number of roundabouts and backroads. With a good set of snow tires and 6”of fresh snow there isn’t many things that compare to a 911 on deserted early morning roads.
