We had a very warm weekend (9 Degrees C. on Sunday) and I couldn't resist any longer - I have been driving a Chevy Avalanch all winter with only brief encounters with our Cayenne S on weekends. I managed to get the 997 S out of the driveway, and the roads are all clear and fairly dry. I had such an blast! I had forgotten how wonderful my first Porsche is. While I envy those in warmer climates that have been enjoying their Porsches all winter, putting it away for the winter makes one appreciate the car when it comes back out in the spring. However, I think I will get snows for next fall!
