Default Do you new RS4 owners actually want to drive your car in the ice and snow?

I know here in SE PA the winters really beat up the cars due to the excessive cinders, salt and suspension beating potholes. Not to mention the wheel bending. I'm not saying you shouldn't drive it in winte , but would you really want to. I know that I try not to drive my s4 when the salt and cinder quotient is high.Why beat up such a great car. Stone chips suck!

Somehow I seriously doubt that.

Default I drove my 997S in the salt, why not a more appropriate chassis?

I already have snows on BBS's from my A8. If I keep the car it's going to be driven.

Not worth it IMO. The car is most enjoyable on dry back roads - besides I don't really want to wreck the paint/underbody with salt and rocks. Plus I'm sure the stock tires are useless in snow and I just can't put snow tires and different wheels on this car.

Default you totally underestimate my desire to drive:) But in all seriousness, the car goes out in whatever

weather condition. Obviously I wouldnt drive it into a tornado, but you get the point.
