Default Love that quattro system...

I was driving home last night in my 86 4KCSQ up 680 by Walnut Creek. I see something in the road ahead (looked like a large garbage bag) as I am driving, the car in the lane next to me passes it and I expect it to blow out of the way, but it did not. That is when I realized it was a friggin' wheelbarrow that fell off someones truck.

Yikes, HARD LEFT!!! Any lesser car would have spun the *** end around at the speed I was going when this happened, but my little daily driver just whipped around it like nothing and stuck to the ground. Gotta have love for the quat!

I did not see it on the way to work this morning, I hope no one hit the thing. That would definitley suck at freeway speeds (or higher).

Default a coworker's son totalled his MPV hitting an empty wood crate on 680.

it was a big 4'x4' crate, but still...i thought car beats wood. guess not at 70mph.

Quattro does rock, but so does good response times and even better driving skills!
