Snow Storm Update. The last couple of days have been a lot of fun cruising around watching the front wheels drives going somewhere very slowely and especially seeing the rear wheel drive SUVS getting stuck. Ha!!!. Cruising through 8 to 10 inches of powder with not even a hint of a problem felt like I was snow skiing in my car. Getting to streets that have been untouched and blasting through drifts - what a blast. I guess after the snow/ice melts I will make it back up to around 20 MPG. It's really hard not to stand on it when all you have to do is point and go. This is my second year in the winter with this car and I forgot just how great this thing is. My Quattro Avant rules !!!<br>I spent about 3 hours just driving around at the start and during the storm. Now it sucks because it is like ice mountains anywhere snow has been plowed and all the side streets have 3 - 4 inches of solid ice. The part about this that sucks is that now I have to really watch out for the others on the ice sliding into me. I'm fine alone.<p>Dave K<br>98.0 Avant 2.8 QT Powerslider/ Skier/ F1 wannabe<br>
