I'm kinda wondering at what snow depth will it bogg down.
ive driven out of the driveway while the snow was over my headlights. as long as the tires have grip it will push thru.


today we got our first snowfall too, i was excited to drive to work lol. i love changing lanes while stopped at a light. people have no idea how you can make a car move sideways instead of forward or backwards. though i only play when theres no other cars near me, not that i dont trust myself, its i dont trust everyone else. quattro isnt bulletproof though, you can still hydroplane the same as in any other car.

you can carefuly do it on very icy roads that are banked pretty heavily for water run off, theres a few on the way to work for me. you need 2 full lanes on your side of the road, you start in the lane closest to the center of the road and angle the car a little to the side you want to slide to. then its just careful reving to make sure your tires dont grip at all and gravity will pull the car down into the next lane. you have to find the right spot to do it.
