Ya me too, except my beast was a '99 Range Rover 4.0 with traction control,
blah blah. My wife's '96 A6 walked, no, it *ran* away from that thing in the
snow...and the Rover was actually pretty good. It went up an ice covered
hill that others just wouldn't go up. The Audi, well, I don't have to tell
you guys what an Audi can do in the snow :)

'93 Mercedes 300D 2.5L turbodiesel (beginning to smell like french
fries)...we'll see how *that* beast does in the snow (with 4 *skinny*
Nokians!)
'96 A6 quattro avant (with 4 moderately skinny Nokians)
