Carrera 4 - winter car?
Not sure if this is a crazy idea or not, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Long story short, in the past five months I've sold my 02 Discovery and my 86 Carrera Coupe, bought a '99 BMW 528i and stumbled on a '68 Land Rover Series IIa that I got for short money. Bottom line is that I miss the Porsche terribly, and I want back in. But here's where it's tricky - my wife is expecting and we are replacing her Jetta with a Volvo XC70 mommy-wagon. I can't really afford to keep three vehicles (Volvo, my daily driver and a Porsche) while starting a family, so I'm thinking Porsche as daily driver. But in New England, snow and ice are part of the deal - so the question - is a Carrera 4 a viable option for year-round use? Is the AWD effective in wet/slush/snow? Does anyone make snow tires for Porsches? Convincing my wife will be the hardest thing, but what do you guys think? Has anyone done this?
