You must be WAY too young to remember traversing ice and snow in a 1959 Porsche convertible

Actually I'm not, I was just a little too young to afford one. Had an uncle that wrecked his coming home from a day of skiing in Harbor Springs (northern Michigan) Turns out it wasn't so good on the ice and snow either.

With that being said, what's your point?

And yes, I do enjoy my small front wheel drive in the winter........

Just that today it seems to me ‘drivers’ are more interested in gadgets, mysterious electronic devices, getting ahead of the other fellow. Used to be, there was DRIVING—an art, a mutual courtesy on the road, an etiquette, an end in itself. I’m old that’s all—and I miss how it ‘used to be’. Guess that’s my point. (PS: my 356 was used, a little beat up, no heat, but it was all I had for shopping, getting baby to doctor, etc. in all kinds of weather. Don’t consider myself a —what did you write—a fairie?) Take care.

Here is a funny thing - when I go out to plow in the winter, the ditches are full of ... audis.

Operator, head space, and timing.
