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. |

I think I will drive it a few more days.
Most likely they will start laying down salt brine next week. I will not drive it then. I plan on putting it up for the winter this weekend. How long should it idle to get the tranny fluid warm? Or do you have to drive it to warm it up? |

Zach (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Wusss. Daily driver, wash the salt and snow off sometimes. Dont follow too close to the big tractors. Always steer into your skid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have found that no heat daily drivers are fun with gloves, the dash vent open, and lots of speed. I also noticed that since i used the second skin product in my car. It is a little warmer. Mabey its in my head (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
