Default So how many LOVE winter driving?

Funny watching all these people shuffle into the office bitching and moaning about the snow, cold weather, and the slippery roads (Michigan). Am I the only one with this big s***-eatin' grin on my face. What a blast! Invigorating!

Default I enjoy it, but not every day... I've had enough of shovelling snow for this year.

The roads in Denver are always fine, often dry, after a day or two.

I often have the most fun as I pull into the parking lot at work and do a few donuts or whatever before continuing on to my normal parking space. It's very obvious from the tire tracks leading to my car that it was me "fooling around"!

Default If you are up in a cold enough area look for winter driving schools or ice racing events...

It really takes winter driving to a whole new level of fun!

I've read some articles about ice racing up in your region, wheel to wheel even.

Cheers,

Default With Quattro it is easy, although I cannot say that I love it. This winter has been a no show so far

in Boston, although we have had some dry cold weather, for which the winter tires are essential. Summer compound tires get very hard when it gets much below 40 degrees.
My efforts to get my car to break traction in last week's dusting in a nearby parking lot were unsuccessful. Next time I need a bigger lot.

Default That was awesome

Especially the part you drove right into that snow bank.

Default Love it, but I hate the salt that comes along with it (unfortunately).

I have no idea why I'm posting in the RS4 forum.
