Pulled A Bonehead Move This Morning
So I got to work late (7:45am) and found a nice large area of unadulterated snow. No one around, large area. I decide to myself "ive never driven this car in snow yet, so let's see what happens"
Anyway.
I hit the gas, turned the wheel and felt a nice large shaking and shudder effect.
Call me an idiot. I didnt turn off my ESP. In fact, due to owning the B5, I didnt even realize I had ESP until my car shook me like a british nanny.
I feel dumb now. =(

Did that in a journalist test-drive car...
A journalist friend had an s-line wagon (I forget what model) last winter. Nice manual transmission, quattro, etc.
Took it to an empty parking lot, cranked the wheel, punched it to toss the car, and it just slowly crept away, taking control of the throttle while I let out the clutch.
Everyone in the car was like "WTF?"...
Hit the ESP disable button... quattro donuts ensued.
