Sigh. If I had a BS it would be in a heated garage staying warm in the snow right now.
Oh to dream.
Oh to dream.

Naaaah. Put some snow tires on the beast, and take it out for a ride as often as you like. It's a Mercedes AMG. It was designed to be able to easily deal with a few inches of the soft, fluffy white stuff on the ground... with extreme prejudice.

I agree. But if that was outside, what cool cars do you have in your garage?!

The BS is adequate in the snow, but it is far from ideal. I have Pirelli winters mounted on aftermarket wheels. As you can see, she is no garage queen.
Our Porsche with "sensitive paint" was inside. We also needed some room in the garage for some new snow removal equipment for the NY blizzard that wasn't.

Oh - I certainly do agree about storing it indoors. As for the Porsche with "sensitive paint", get it detailed and coated with opticlear or whatever that harder ceramic based "permanent wax" coating is called. A 911 and especially the C4S is a great car to drive in the snow for as long as it's not deep enough where the front bumber becomes a snow plow.

Great stuff, personally I like, but its kind of like a tougher wax/light clear coat more than anything.
