What I don't get is why John would subject ALL 4 cars to driving conditions where winter tires are warranted
RWD, lower ground clearance cars..one a convertible - the others with a low polar moment of inertia, one that's "classic" without ABS or traction control or his precious torque vectoring or...as John's said himself without modern safety features nor a particularly robust and fault tolerant electrical system
Why would he even want to subject all his vehicles to snow and road salt and grit and all the rest of winter driving?

Why classic car lover John doesn't have a winter beater vehicle instead of 4 sets of snow tires is the underlying question

Because John is an idiot.

You can usually pickup a cheap'ish set of rims and tires from your dealer if they offer storage services. A lot of times people forget about them, especially when they trade their vehicles in. Porsches tend to get traded in early and often. When I bought mine, I got a set of rims and all weather tires for $1,500.00.

John spent autumn 2018 and autumn/winter 2019 bragging about how he was restoring the set of 21 or 23 year old wheels he bought for either $400 or $60, saving him(Frank) $1500 or $3700 depending on the vintage of the tweet.

Four sets of snows for four completely useless winter vehicles? That's seriously some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard. None of John and Frank's vehicles would be worth a shit in snow regardless of the tire you slap on them, you can make them better, but still shit tier compared to almost any other car, and I speak from experience in regards to Frank's Challenger. We had an 06 Charger we bought new (same drivetrain as the Challenger, RWD, automatic, 5.7 V8 depending on package of course, and almost identical platform) and it was worthless in any inclement weather, the fucking thing would get stuck going down hill on damp grass. Knowing this, I bought an excellent set of snows for it preparing for the next upcoming winter. I mounted them on cheap steel wheels and put 300 pounds of weight in the trunk, and it sucked just as bad as it did with it's regular all seasons.

I can't imagine that a Porch which weighs nothing, has a lot of power, and is RWD would be worth a damn in any snow unless you chain it, or run studded tires, and I can hear Porch enthusiasts cringing at the mere mention of chains and studs. Chains will also wreck the fuck out of your body if they come loose, which they can do.
 
I think this discussion is complicated by the notion that these winter tires are for driving the cars like these two idiots have anywhere to go anyway let alone a need to do so when it snows a bunch.

Though considering how dumb they are they probably do a bunch of stupid winter driving. Four feet of snow? Today must be the day I need to drive to a bank thirty miles away to take in my rolled nickels!

Wonderful news folks, John has ended the pandemic for the third time in a row.

Why the fuck would John need to drive 90 minutes for a booster when he lives in Boston? Are they actually distributing them this incompetently, or is John just a moron again?

I'm betting it's more BS from John so he can appear VERY SPECIAL and that he's DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO FIGHT THIS PLAGUE! John has a terminal need to always be seen as the hero of the story. He already loves to talk up Frank as if he is single handedly developing a cure for COVID when he's just a glorified paper pusher.

His previous claim is that he'd be driving three hours away for it. And yes, he'd rather go somewhere special than to a CVS literally less than a quarter of a mile from his house.

I think the point was that he wanted his booster shot right the fuck now because, you know, places to be, people to meet, ain't got no time to wait one whole week for an appointment at the pharmacy next to his home like poor people do. He's very busy, you know? These Peach only mario 2 speedruns and superPAC meetings aren't gonna get done by themselves. Also sportscars. Also, somehow, getting democrats elected (how?). Very busy.

He's so busy he has three hours of time to waste?

Wait what? I'm experiencing a real mandela effect right now. I'm pretty sure they're supposed go be red socks fans. John said fenway park is a temple.
But then again, the odds of me changing dimensions to Earth B seem to be lower than the odds of john being a really bad liar that can't keep a coherent story.
What colour is the Golden Gate Bridge?
 
Brianna only became a Red Sox fan when he started running for congress. Prior to that he pretended to be a Yankee fan because of Frank. Pretty sure he doesn't actually give two shits about baseball.
Based on that sad excuse for a Christmas tree (fake, pre-lit, no ornaments), any shits they claim to give about the holiday are performative too.
It's hard to know whether Brianna actually likes anything or it's all just this persona he created to be the coolest girl ever. Having winter tires for 4 porsches is stupid bullshit as no one needs the ability to drive multiple cars at any possible time, but Brianna will use any possible excuse to point out what an awesome car girl he is and if anyone calls him out he can always cry mansplaining.

"Hacked." He googled how to edit ffx save ps5 and got that link.

Great to see, John - not even the bitter Boston winter will stop you from delivering essential supplies to low-income families now.

Genuinely jealous he has a quickjack. They're like $1500 here, and that's too rich for my blood.

It can be, it comes down to personal choice.

You can choose to own two sets of tires, you can chain your tires, or you can just buy A/Ts.

I have all season and a heavy car. I see no need for winter tires even in the prairies in canada. Johns just doi g it for owning more useless car shit.

For the curious:
Analogue (not to be confused with the Magazine that features screaming chinks) is a emulator retro console creator. If you try to read through their bullshit, they have retroconsoles with FPGAs in them. An FPGA stands for Field Programable Gate Array - it is a hardware chip you can change the function of the transitors via software ('program it in the field' vs in the lab with equioment). This lets you exactly (or nearly so) recreate console hardware.
This is pretty flippin' cool,if extremely pretentiously autistic.

Their latest product (that john is jizzing his pants about) is a hand-held that can do OG Gameboy to Gameboy advance games, as well as Lynx, Gamegear, and Neogeo; any console 16bit or less is an option it looks like. It plays actual cartridges, and doesn't need BIOS files because They reverse engineered the GB bioses onto their custom hardware.
So yes, if you get a ROM cart, the ROMs should play almost exactly like native. They also support per-game FPGA tweaks - which is where they get a little fucky because again, its not an EMU or ROM dump. They mention down deep in the text you need carts to play,but they definitely are trying to give the impression all the games are included.

Its overpriced and a little Up-its-own-ass, but they include two FPGAs, one for Dev work - which if they have brick protections in place that'd be a fun (if overpriced) little 16-bit FPGA hacking platform.
Its pretty neat, but for John its just a toy to wank about having and then toss into its protective case and forget all about.

I have vietnam flashbacks of a colleague in grad school trying to get her stupid FPGA to work for months on end and try not to get dropped from the phd program.
It looked fun in the same way cutting off your balls looks fun, which I guess explains why john is so excited about the prospect lmao
