Default Things to remember... Contrary to popular belief, quattro can not defy the laws of physics...

;-) seriously, have a ball, just be careful. If I said I have never done a donut, or big powerslides every time it snows, I would be lying big time. I love playing in the snow.. Ever since I started driving, I have really loved it. The more snow, the better. THe pic in my sig, I was just driving around town, looking for unplowed lots to make first tracks in (hey, if I can't go skiing, I might as well go driving!!)

Enjoy!!

Default Find a parking lot, spend 10 min there, look in mirror,

You should se a big *** grin on your face. If not, repeat as necessary.

Seriously, my experience is that with snow tires you can climb any hill, corner a little better than most but stopping still sucks - especially going downhill.

The most fun... put a tow strap in your trunk to pull suv's out of snow banks,... REALLY COOL. Get one with some elasticity in the middle, it'll make you seem like a gift from god.
