Default Hmmm, what say AWC? Supposed to be going up to the cottage this evening...

North of Gravenhurst.

Part of me is salivating at the prospect of putting quattro to good use, but the other part of me is worried that it may be a huge disaster and a normally 2 hour trip will turn out to be 4+...let alone risk being sideswiped by a Q7 (they are SUV's after all).

[Shady, yes this is a TO centric question, but your opinion is valued nevertheless]

Default be defensive...

i used to LOVE driving on days like this when I lived in Barrie. this is one of those days that no one will delve into the left lane so you should be smooth (controled non aggressive)sailing i would think.
just be super aware of your surroundings and leave lots of space...when you get an open spot, play a bit

Default Roads don't look too bad according to the Weather Network

Bare, partly covered, slush. Good visibility.

It's just the surprise snow squall that would be worried.<ul><li><a href="http://www.theweathernetwork.com/hwycond/on_toronto/caon0696">http://www.theweathernetwork.com/hwycond/on_toronto/caon0696</a</li></ul>

Default Thanks Tanner. I spoke with folks up at the cottage and they said (as of late

morning), that it hadn't snowed at all...just little flurries.

Default The first step in the recovery process is admitting you have a problem ;)

You in town just for the weekend?

BTW, the clutch slave is still in my trunk
