Manual transmission + ESP + snow and ice = Weird.
I was pulling into a snow/ice covered parking spot (@ 2 MPH), and while I was working the throttle and clutch, the ESP was clamping down on all four wheels to keep them from spinning. So I nearly stalled the car in an effort to move it forward five feet. If not for the ESP Off button, I would have had to back out and find another spot! With ESP off, I could use a little wheelspin to find the traction I needed.
I wish the ESP would let up at low, low speeds so that you do not literally stall out on slippery surfaces.

good for you! >
I got a quote for $750 from an operation in San Antonio that seems competent; they're an hour away. I found them through the Austin Audi Club; the number seems low, but if it's twice that I won't be too upset, now that I know about the work. What did your brother estimate, btw?<ul><li><a href="http://www.prestige-tuning.com/currentprojects.html">http://www.prestige-tuning.com/currentprojects.html</a</li></ul>
