Default so thats was Quattro is for...

well i felt like driving today so i drove up into the mountains near my house andspend about 2 hours sliding around turns on the back roads. had a blast especially since there were no cars for miles to deal with. i mean i could just stop in the middle of the road and take pictures.i also learned somethings...second gear is great for breaking traction on the rear wheels and if you dont clean the snow chunks out of your wheels, youll get a bad vibration on the highway.

Beautiful, man! I ripped up some wet roads in my neighborhood (check my earlier post). I can't wait to hit snow.

I live in San Jose; I'll be waiting a LONG time for snow. And frankly if it ever does snow here, I'm staying home. Not about to get on a snowy local highway with a bunch of local wingnuts who think their FWD Honda's can handle the ice. Eek.

Just getting on the highway in the rain the other day, some dumb*** in a pickup in front of me was fishtailing all over the place. It felt good to hold backā€¦ hold backā€¦ then rocket past him as soon as I got two lanes. ;-)

I'd bet that half of the 240Z's in the states have looked like that at least twice in their lifetime....very nice by the way, you going L28 Turbo?
