Wow,
Its cold out, the 914 starts right up after sitting still for quite a while.
The van had a dead battery, so after a jump start..off to sears I go.
Anyways....Aaron...these tires are wild when its -15 degrees out...like driving on ICE...I did a fishtail out of two streets with a 1.7 liter...to funny...

So how'd it do with the cross winds? I hope you didn't need to hit the highways. I could barely keep my Passat in the lanes at times.

....it is pretty amazing....my Toyota Echo gets tossed around, where the 914's not affected by these winds at all.

lower CG
Stiffer suspension (by a long shot)
Stiffer sidewalls on the tires (by a long shot)
Lower wind profile.

Rich - you are crazy. Say, you planning on dropping by IRA Porsche for the new members (NER-PCA) meeting at the end of March? Thought I would drop by in the teener.
