Baby it's Cold Outside, Driveing 914's in winter Options

[john grier]

Yeah it's cold here!
And I am driveing my 914 as a daily driver.
Is there anything that I should be concerned with?
The only proplem that I have noticed is that it takes awhile to shift right,
as it is cold and has to warm up.
And the door does not want to close the way it should. Sometimes.

Ahhhh memories. In the late 1980's a 914 was my daily driver. It had no heat and I had a 45 minute drive from home to college. Nothing like driving with the window cracked a bit to prevent the windshield from fogging or icing up on the inside on a below freezing winter day.

After doing that for a while I really appreciate my new car. That said, I'll take a 914 with snow tires over any other car in the snow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Rich is right, the 90W gear oil does get pretty viscous. It literally would take me 45 minutes of driving to warm it up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
