I love whoring that picture.

But seriously, my car's been lowered and it still didn't have any problem plowing through 8+ inches of snow last winter.

And I assume you're referring to quattro models...[sm=lol.gif]

Search YouTube for some drifting videos - there's some good stuff on there.

I've owned a bunch of 4x4's and a Subaru legacy and the Audi is by far the best I've driven in the snow.
