I haven't had much opportunity for that this winter. All that rain you are getting in Fremont has been huge snow up here. We have so much, that I am sure I will have snow in my backyard in June. My deck is 12 feet off the ground and the snow level is just slightly above that.

I love driving the 996TT in the rain. My favorite part is when PSM kicks in on a corner or on a straight line pull. The only time I shy away from rain is if I just detailed the car, then I only drive it in good weather for a few days. After a few days, I drive in the rain again and enjoy it.

:-) Wow! And I hand wash 2-3 times a week during the season!

I can't bring myself to expose my car to the harsh winters. I bought it new in '02 and it still looks like new after 106,000 miles. If I drove it winters, it would be trashed by now. Can't wait to get it out in a few weeks...finally.

I could share some detailing tips so that you could never miss a beat and never tell how old your car was.

And being a black car person and having learned from the best of the best, Bradley himself of Bradley's Bellevue,,, a garage, a California Car Duster, a good clay bar technique, a handful of Mother's Products and a bunch of wax on wax off movements would bring your car back to where it once was.

And I might even leave a mint on the seat when I am done.
