Snow-covered Porsches
The day didn't start out like a typical Concours day, but the light dusting of snow 
didn't deter anyone from getting their free mechanical inspection and detailing 
on this chilly early-May Canadian morning. Besides, when you're inside a 
warm shop, does the weather really matter?
