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.

Our roads are already white with the brine mix they spray down. My teener is tucked away till spring now.

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)

Ditto on Rich's comments. My two boys drove 2 of my cars everyday thru high school in MT. The 2 plates inside the latch gum together when in gets real cold. Take them out and soak them in solvent overnight. Sometimes it takes a couple time to get it all out.

I have one similar but mine is bolted to the case and replaces the oil strainer cap so it goes into the oil. Works fine all the way down to -35C...at least. It also warms the trans oil a bit.
Yours looks easier to fit Im sure it also works well.

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 2nd driving her a long while! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (short hops no good!)
(BTW- move to south cali fast...it's going to be 90 degrees this weekend )(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Just got my booster fan installed this week for the cold weather.

And yes, that is PVC tubing painted black for warm air guides.

Brrrrr, it's cold outside. Temp. this morning is +10 with wind chill @ -7 degree's. I am looking out my office window at a large "Red Tail Hawk" looking for breakfast. I have a bird feeder out there with lots of small critters and he knows it's an easy meal when he's hungry.
