Default quattro-a must in snow!!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/94174/dsc007041.jpg"></center><p>
Phew!! What a blizzard!!...anyway, here's hoping everyone made it indoors or managed safely through it on their way to work or wherever they were headed! Well, for me, it was play-time; school had closed for Christmas, so I started checking out all the dense snow-covered roads in town, and up on the hills....and boy, did Quattro perform!! It was fun spinning all four wheels and getting out of slick spots now and then, loosing the tail out sometimes!...the above pic shows my car parked in the driveway(which has been driven on and snow-plowed, and most of my neighbors got stuck in it as most of it was more than a couple of feet dense!!)...my friend's two-month new Mazda 3 was stuck, spinning its front wheels( for about an hour, before help arrived), but I must admit, while he was flooring it, it sounded amazing!!...anyway, one thing that I have decided-for me, if it's an Audi, it has to be a Quattro!!

Default I used to pull up on to my sloped drive way in snowy days...

one day my neighbor finally asked why I'd never shoved the driveway and still able to go in and out.
