Read evidence and context
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.

I'm also one of those curious ones who seem to always want to check out what's going on rather than running for cover...
Leading evidence: 'Run cover' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run cover' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

SO, it did finally come today and wrecked havoc on the roads. I've got at least two buddies still trying to make it home.
any cool (or sad) 996 pics out there?
this is right before i left the office around 1:30pm today:
Later on the road (a total blast until the other cars showed up... )
I'm sorry but people don't have the slightest idea of how to drive in this weather. they just step on the gas and see what happens...
it is nuts out there. i feel for all the ppl that spent the night in their cars!
LOL. This is just too funny. M96 motors can't idle as they will die, they can't be used on the track as they will die, they can't be driven at low RPM as they will die, can't be driven at high RPM as they will die, they can't left sitting as they will die.
SMH.
I am sure Jake can comment how being in sandy conditions with front wheels off the ground puts extra load on the PMS* bearing. I am sure when that car came down it was toast.
Idling is not something that most engines are designed around, unless you are talking emergency vehicles and tractor trailers.
Track activities are the best thing for the IMSB, unless the car has an M97 bearing.
Anyway, we'll see if my prediction is correct in the coming weeks. No reason to get off topic! Just glad we are in the mountains and not in Atlanta!
I don't have any Porsche pic's from our snow "event". If I did, it would be of mine sitting in the garage. My 996 is a daily driver but I don't trust the other crazies out there!
I'm afraid we are the laughing stock of the rest of the country. My colleagues in Chicago can't believe that two inches of snow did this to us.
My friend slept at work last night. He did not even bother attempting going home. His co-worker spent 12 hours in his car and covered only 9 miles. Another left the car on the side of highway and walked 5 miles to his house.
Similar stories here. One guy in our office left at 2:30pm, and ended home 1:30am....and he had to walk the last 5 miles after giving up and leaving his car on the road. Oh, and did I mention he only lives 10 miles away from the office?
I'm originally from the north, but now since I live in Atlanta I don't want to comment too much, but I agree southerners cannot handle the slightest snow. Everytime there's some snow many act like it will be the end of the world. But southerners laugh that northern folks can't handle hurricanes...oh well...
I'm one of those ignorant Northerner's but exactly how do you "handle" a hurricane? The closest I got is a Tornado and I must admit, I didn't handle it very well considering my buddy and I were the only ones outside looking at the black sky while everyone was in the basement seeking shelter.
Ha, all the guidance I got here is to stay away from any windows, etc. Not that helpful. I'm also one of those curious ones who seem to always want to check out what's going on rather than running for cover...
