My '69 911E is my daily driver, but I am blessed to be living in the Pacific NW which has mild winters. I do drive mine on snow (great traction) when it falls in Seattle because we use little to no salt on the roads (mostly cinders and ash). Granted, it's old, but it does carry its batttle scars well and I will rebuild the rusted/rotten areas once the cash/time equation becomes more favorable. Till then, it loves running in 20 to 30 degreee weather, warms up beautifully (SSI heat exchangers keep me toasty) and keeps the fun factor going year-round for me!

I say drive it - my experience validates that Porsches love the cold!

Regards,
