Default Allroad Winter Wonderland (aka Denver).

Just a random story. I drove to the airport on Thursday afternoon last week, right in the middle of our second "blizzard". But I saw more allroads than I have ever seen before from one drive.

Going from Lakewood to REI store, saw 3, then 2 parked at the REI store, then one getting back on to 25, then 1 more on the highway to the airport, and 2 more parked at the airport.

They sure are beautiful cars.

Default Re: Allroad Summer Wonderland (aka New England).

Still no snow here... and tomorrow is supposed to be close to 60.

Glad I put my snow tires on, would hate to get stuck in all of this lack of snow.

Its very depressing. Weather reports say over 60 on Saturday. Just think it snowed in Melbourne and its summer now. This place has sure gone crazy..

Same temps here in the Midwest. Fortunately Blizzaks are good in mud.

Default 2' on the ground, another 2' by Friday. Level 4 with studded Winterforce rules!

Quattro keeps up with most any rig on unplowed roads, let alone the plowed ones.

Default Do you mean 2 *inches*? Extra hash mark on the apostrophe?

Default Yep - I prefer to drive my allroad over the our LX470 in the snow

Manual transmission + snow tires gives more control even if I give up a little ground clearance and weight. But hey -- it is finally good to have an overweight piggy allroad. Its a world of a difference over my previous A/S tire equipped A4.
