I've had to content myself with the Cayenne for my Porsche experience for over a wenow as our weather has been absolutely miserable (unless you're a duck!). I'm not totally against driving my GTS in rain but it is relatively clean and I'm loathe to get it dirty . When it's nor raining it's foggy and damp, the roads haven't really dried off completely in over a week, and I walk past my Cayman thinking wistfully how much fun it would be to take a drive in it. Torture!

I know the feeling, my 911 has been sitting for over a week, between a work trip and lousy weather. I took it for a spin yesterday in about 3” of fresh snow, and washed it after.

Yea, my GT3 has been parked since before Thanksgiving, I've been hoping for warmer weather. Last Saturday it was in the 50's and I was hoping to take it out, but it was wet all day. Finally put it on the battery tender yesterday,

The temperature is no problem, it's been in the 60's most all the past week, just too much liquid sunshine!

Same here in TN. This part of the country has definitely been wet, damp, and dreary for a couple of weeks now. Seems like there's never any daylight!

But, the plants, trees, lakes, rivers, etc are loving it. The alternative (drought) is worse so I'll grin and bear it.

Same as you, I am driving my truck or our Cayenne. (My wife would soundly reject the term "our" regarding the Cayenne.) :angel:
