Unfortunately, it's hard to find a snowy parking lot in July.  But I do
find heavy rain on the highways sometimes, and I'm just not comfortable
not knowing where the boundaries are.

The car is a stock '99 A8, so it's pretty sedate.  It's also kind of
heavy.  It's definitely a big change from my Prelude.  I used to have a
jones for the aluminum body and stainless exhaust, so when I saw this one
for sale (and the price was right) I jumped on it. But it's a lot of car
for me.  Anybody want to trade for an A6?

My comments about RWD and FWD were just based on what has worked for me in
heavy snow with the cars I have owned.  Your points are well taken.
