Default Waiting for snow....

This will be my first winter with an AWD car. I have had trucks, 'Burbs and Jeeps but not a "sports car" class AWD. Should be fun! (yeah, yeah I know. It still stops like any other vehicle.)

And see, I'm used to a vehicle that does way better in snow. But now with two rear wheel drive sports cars (one with over 300hp), I am looking at getting a 4x4 before the heavy winter season hits in January. Otherwise, I will be so screwed this winter. AWD is going to be nice! In CO, that's going to be a lifesaver.

i can tell you that it's hella fun and addicting. just make sure they don't have "no trespassing" signs before you enter the parking lot though

You're going to notice you will have much more traction than a 4X4. When i lived in PA my roommate had a jeep wrangler, and while it did well in the snow, i would crap my pants taking it around an icy corner. My audi? I won't even flinch.
