Thru the 60's and 70's I drove my p-cars daily, winter,summer,spring and fall. My latest p-car has the privilege to not have to be driven daily, so it doesn't but I still take it out in the rain and snow. Contrary to popular belief a 911 with studless snow tires is a blast to drive in the snow, kinda like a snowmobile. I have never had the front wheels lock up thou the defroster system really sucks, it takes awhile to warm the car up but once it gets to temp. no problems. I have put massive miles on p-cars in the mountains of the west.

My current 911 used to leak bad around the windshield on rain driving. That problem was fixed 2 months ago when the windshield was replaced with a new gasket , amazing what a new rubber gasket can do.

Yes, most drivers out there can't drive in the rain or snow, just not alot of skill out there. My technique is to get away from the pack and leave it behind me. In some conditions and places that can be a real challenge but I trust my ability and have the best tires for the weather at all times and if I get stuck without the right setup, I am down to the speed limit or below. All my cars have 2 sets of tires and rims, summer and winter.

IMHO, dumb stuff happens to dumb people, prepare your car and your skills and you will be miles ahead of the dumb people.
