I'm pretty sure that's fwd, there's no quattro badge on the interior trim

if it was quattro that probably would have never happened

Wow yeah, looks like it's not quattro. I bet he shook like a dry leaf in the wind for an hour after that!

Once I was driving my old civic home down a skinny twisty road, and I guess I hit a patch of ice on a corner and I started going right at a pole so I floored it and turned away from it and the car pulled away from it but it just went down the road spinning at about 40mph, I managed to get it to stop backwards and hit the side of the curb but for some reason I wasnt even scared and the girl in my car was freaking out for like two hours..

yeah seriously first of all, I don't see a quattro badge on the trim. secondly, the driver had AMAZING reaction time and handled that extremely well.

I really hate it when people worship quattro just because THEIR car has it and they think its the best thing since the combustion engine. Its a damn all wheel drive system. Many cars have it, its not that fascinating. My a4 has quattro and my old chevy tracker handled the snow and ice MUCH better to be honest.
