[s-cars] 1993 Audi S4 for sale

[Lee Levitt]

Well, cars with IRS SUCK in the snow. I learned to drive in RWD 
Volvos in upstate NY, where a nightly 6" of snow wouldn't even be 
mentioned by the local weathergirl. She'd have to see 8" or more 
before she even peeped, but that's another story.

Anyway, I love driving RWD cars in the snow. I also love driving 
FWD cars in the snow...my second car was a VW Rabbit and the 
handbrake, working on the rear wheels, did more steering in snow 
than the steering wheel. :)

But if I have to get someplace, give me quattro.

Oh, and by the way, the snow performance of my wife's '96 A6 got 
me out of a '99 Range Rover, which was pitiful in 
comparison....and into my first Audi, an S6 avant.
