[V8] Jingle Bells

[Tony and Lillie]

Two things. I'd agree on the V8 Auto with snows being the best I've driven, 
but the A8 was pretty good too with snows (about a '98 model).

Also, growing up in northern WI in the '80's, Dad had a '81 Mustang Ghia. 
Tell me about pushing a car around in snow. 2 inches and a slight incline, 
and we were stuck!!

:( That's why I drive a Quattro to this day.

I saw so many cars yesterday that were just not able to deal with it.

Traction is key.  Winter tires are a necessity.


She's super nervous about
driving in this stuff, but aside from squiggling around, she had no
problem getting to work and was amazed by how many vehicles were
stuck.  I've told her to just keep slight steady pressure on the gas
and steer where she wants to go and let the car sort everything out.
I swear I think the V8 automatic is the best of the bunch when it
comes to making progress with the least fuss.  I think the center diff
is a lot smarter than a torsen.
