I can't say I feel too sorry for you Chris. -17C for a low ain't bad at all. Over here in Sask, we've just come out of -35C (-50C with wind chill). Although it's supposed to be around 0 all week, which is a very welcome change!
Spring is just around the corner (in about 2 months!) and then I'll be able to pull out the teener!
Are you actually driving your 914 in the winter? Thats gotta be a little chilly, doesn't it?
