Hey guys, I've been lurking around and reading on here for a while, but this is my first post.

Anyway, I'm really thinking about trying to pick up a decent 914 this spring, but I'm curious:
How do these guys get along with our beautiful Wisconsin weather? Do any of you guys drive them at all in the winter, or do they go into the garage right away once it gets cold out?

The thing is, and always has been, with me, is that I can't bring myself to be interested in a 'sensible' vehicle. I'd much rather buy something cool and less-than-completely-practical.

So, I can afford one car.
Could I get away with it, or is it too ridiculous?
