Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I use my car as a daily driver so it encounters every sort of driving scenario imaginable with the exception of snow (but that's only because of where I live the city shuts down with 1/2" of the white stuff).
In any case as with most men I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping yesterday and happened to see three other 996's in a period of two hours! This is pretty rare because I hardly see any to begin with but to see them all in miserable, rainy conditions was a surprise. A black one, a champagne colored (which is the first time I've seen one in person), and a gorgeous C4S that made me a fan of the color silver.
There must be something about the color silver and cloudy/rainy conditions because this car looked stunning. So for whoever was in the Lake Norman area with the silver C4S, your car looks awesome!
Happy winter driving everyone...I'm off to a 600 mile trip while driving an SUV.
Are you sure they don't melt? Then I will use mine today...it's raining here insead of snow. Have a safe 600 mi. trip, too bad you aren't taking the Porsche.
Thank you Capt. Obvious!
(I always wanted to say that!)
But yes, after owning two 996's, my latest is my 2004 C4S cab, which I bought new 8 years ago now has 122,000 miles on it and look/runs like it was new with no issues other than wear items.
Just put on the snow tires and she gets driven in the rain/snow/sleet or sunshine (I'll keep it in the garage if there's going to be hail).
water/snow is fine, it is salt/sand mix that kills steel monoballs. until asphalt is clean from this sh$t nothing really matters, but as soon it is all covered with this mix - that means time has come to wait it all over...
