We went to the movies last night.
Got about 6 inches of wet heavy snow. I drove the A8 for the first time in a snow storm. All I can say it WOW. Lots of computers keeping me inline, and the car is rock solid in really crappy weather. I did DD the 914 for a few years when I needed to , snow, rain, salt etc. With the right tires, the car was fun in the snow, though sometime to low to see over snowbanks and with the low suspension you really need to pick your path so you dont get hung up on stuff. Honestly, the beetle handles better in the snow than the 914. I have yet to try the 911, but that may come out this year. The Audi is just too cool, with the heated seats etc...I cant see driving anything else just to have the pleasure of cleaning it right after the ride... BTW, I am still paying for those two years of salt driving with some new rust repair I get to do.... Rich |

QUOTE(r_towle @ Dec 27 2012, 12:15 PM)  I drove the A8 for the first time in a snow storm. All I can say it WOW. I had my first WOW moment in '99 in about 4 inches of snow in my '97 A6Q. AWD is awesome in the snow. Won't have another 2WD all weather car (911, 914 excluded) while I live here in the northeast. Since then, we've bought only AWD vehicles: '96 Subaru Legacy, '95 A6Q, '98 A4Q, '07 A4Q, '07 Volvo S60 AWD, and BMW 328xi. |
