Nothing, there's a thick sheet of ice all over the car.

Around dinner time when the freezing rain was coming down hard, I felt confident with quattro and new winter tires. Everyone else, however, I worry about !

During the drive today, too, I thought about how much I want winter to end so I the car get the summer tires back on, and give the white TT a good polish and shine. A few more months to go...

Great photo and thanks for the + door opening report. Curious what the difference is between your situation and others who have reported problems.

Yeah I took it to tennis at 7, it was a non issue on the road. The thing is a beast. There's a particular curve on the way home and I always slipped with any of my other vehicles but the TT just takes it fine. The quatro really makes a difference.

Yes! waiting also.


They were calling for freezing rain all day here but only got a very thin layer which melted pretty quick. Roads a bit icy in morning but Quatro was awesome but was also scared about everyone else on the road.

Sure if they hit me (their fault) insurance will cover to fix it but who covers the devaluation on the car. That's the part I don't get, happened to my on my BMW, like $6K devaluation when I traded it in.

Wow, that's some serious glaze ice. Great picture!

I like that you park at the end of the row and backed in so as to protect the driver's door and hug the line to [hopefully] protect the passenger's. Semper Vigilantis!!

That's an awesome photo and the blue is stunning! Here's a couple of pics from a light rain overnight followed by a quick freeze.
