[s-cars] Friday snowstorm S4 makes a good snowplow!

[Nick Stuart]

Would have to agree. I'm a bit Northwest of you and while we didn't
get quite as much snow I still came home to an unplowed driveway. I
have a fairly steep drive way and faced a sizable snow bank in the
beginning. I plowed through that and actually had to stop because I
couldn't see. After which, locked the diffs, cleaned the wind shield,
started on up! I little slide here or there but she manged to plow the
way, with another stop to open the garage and the final run into the
garage.

Quattro isn't so much a nicety here, its a requirement.
