For the last 13 years I have driven my 911 4S (daily driver) a few times a year to Northern Canada. Conditions can get very challenging (-40C, with whiteouts and lots of snow and ice on the roads). With proper tires (don't use the often suggested Pirellis ...), the stock car is capable of getting us there year after year, even in the worst of storms. What a great car ... giving us unforgettable experiences week after week, year after year, and hopefully decade after decade. :)

@@siegfriedbarfuss9379 Nokian were the best ones I had, especially the studded ones. The next best is Michelins. Of course ... this is my perspective ... but I purchased after carefully reviewing various tests and reports. Today I have Michelins because the workplace parking no longer allows studded tires and my other Nokians are no longer produced in the sizes fitting my winter 911. I tried many other tires and I am quite happy with my current setup considering the restrictions.

I drove through the worst winter storm in Colorado this year from Denver back to Kansas in my 2000 volvo V70 so I know how treacherous the conditions can be. I’m honestly surprised my car could make it through at all, and I’m sure the 996 would be more fun because it isn’t a heavy FWD station wagon lol

Wow, love this car! I live in northern NV near Lake Tahoe and this car would be a perfect all season fun car for up here. I would still keep my Jeep though. The reason people drive SUV's is because they have real four wheel drive, they have more ground clearance so you're not plowing in deep snow, they have way more interior room and the cost of ownership is way lower. No IMS, RMS, AOS, bore scoring, and other catastrophic failures. Can't beat a Porsche for driving fun though. Great video but too quick jumping from one scene to another for these old eyes to keep up. Would have liked to see more detail on adding the rack and other stuff. How did you run the CB antenna cable into the car?

Very cool trip! The one thing that really would have helped is chains for your tyres. That would allow the AWD to be more effective even though there's not much weight over the front wheels. Frankly, I think the car would really benefit from being raised a bit as the extra suspension travel would allow you to carry some more speed over the rough terrain, but chains would be the cheap and easy fix!
