Quattro's Rule !! Snow causes Traffic Havoc, its been coming down at a rapid pace this mornin
at one point we were recieving roughly 5cm/hr, about 30cm total so far,its supposed to taper off later in the evening.
I finnished work at noon today and proceeded to "Dig Out" my car, The guy parked behind me looks at a me says "good luck getting out".
In all honesty the only visible portion of my car was the top of the windshield,I had to dig my way to the front door,Got in and started up the motor, also activated the rear window defroster.
Took out my Snow-Brush cleaned off the windows,All the while the guy behind me is removing all snow around his vehicle(I'm thinking this guys a Real Noob),I then blurt out, " you know all you need to do is clear your front wheels"
He looks at me like I'm from a different planet, I start clearing about a two foot path next to my front roadside wheel, I then gesture to the guy, "See, that all there's to it !!"
The Guy starts laughing and says "You'll get stuck and I ain't pushing you out". My car is lowered and had about 2-3 feet of snow all around it, Most cars wouldn't even dream of trying this.
I pitied the fool, "Watch and learn buddy".I got in the car, advanced two or three feet, put in reverse and did the same, Now I gun it towards the opening I made earlier and was out Lickity Spit !!
I then park the car and start to brush off the remainder of the snow from the top of the car, I tell the guy, " You can now follow my tracks"
I get in the car and drive off, most Blvd's were swept clean but the secondary roads weren't even touched yet, This car rules even on non-cleared streets !!

Quattro rules...
Give me more snow, any snow, I want it badly!
Man Quattro + STaSIS's TorSen mod = Lots of oversteer. Now add STaSIS's LSD and it = even more oversteer, snap oversteer a la BMW, Yahoo baby! The car is all over the place but it is fun.

We got hozed... Barrie got nothing!!! I mean...5cm max....not fair!
It sucks.... when there is this little snow, it is more greasy than anything.... i'd much prefer to punch the front end through a few snowbanks than have this crap.... deep snow rocks!
