New type of RMS issue

You all know I meant Real Morning Snow. Few days old but thought I would post. Love the look on people faces when you just wipe that snow and drive away!

Nice shot! But do you actually park it on the street overnight?

Always park on the street (as did my previous neighnour with his 996TT!). No real issues there. You get used to it.

Ha! I guess you could have an RMS leak in the RMS!

Sorry, this ain't a Boxster!! Every 911 should have a nice roof over it's head. It hurts my heart to see that poor 996 out there in the snow, all covered up and cold. There should be better 911 endagerment laws!! I should call PPS (Porsche Protective Services) on you!!

Agree with Gant. There is NO WAY IN HELL either of my 996's would sleep outside. One of the main reasons we moved to North Carolina instead of going back to DC......land, land, and more land. Not to mention close to alot of GREAT tracks!

If I want to spend a whack of cash on a car and leave it outside in the snow, rain (or bird **** for that matter!) isn't that my prerogative?

Sure it's your perogative. But why so testy when somebody tells YOU how THEY would park their car overnight? Lighten up ML. Gant is just playing with you. Did you beleive there is a PPS?

I use a car cover when parked outside. It works very well in keeping car clean and even protects it from bumps and dings.

I like to think that if there was one, I would likely not be one of the first person convicted based on some of the stuff we saw here (including the recent 996 on a Toyota frame!) Brings up an idea: how about a wall of shame?

wall of shame? good idea. there have been many a threads of the "OMFG what were they thinking?" variety.

This reminds me - do they make a snow brush that wont do harm to a nice finish??

We should just start it and I guess it would get automatically updated or bumped when people add links.

bummer for all the outside porsche........ what am i saying... mine is outside as well.. but in Socal... it's good to have a little air......

It's not so much the elements that bother me in my part of town, it's the SUV/Minivan/POS driving neighbors that park by "feel" rather than by sight. One of my neighbors left his brand new BMW 5 series on the street one night, and in the morning when I drove by, some dork had parked his Windstar against his front bumper so he wouldn't get a ticket for parking too close to the fire hydrant. The 5 is now always in his driveway.

............and just what do you mean by that Gant?? My 996 would sit ourside before my Boxster would.

Don't be hating on the Boxster....... It may not be powerful, but it's one of the best handling road cars Porsche has ever built.

Are you talking about the 914?

Oh, don't get me wrong, I had a Boxster and a Boxster S....and I LOVED 'em. It's just that my 911 is more of a queen... She hates it when I leave her out at nite, such-as when I sleep at a friends house. She thinks she's too good to be left out with all the other cars. I just go along with it...

Nope, but it's another great Porsche... Some of Porsches best road cars (and race cars) have been their mid-engined cars 911 GT1 Carrera GT Boxster 914 550 RSK RS61 904 906 Elva Porsche Mark VII 907 908 910 917 936 P6P Indy 956 March 836 962 966 K8 WSC Spyder Fabcar Daytona Prototype and even one of the fastest street 911's ever built....... the GT1
