[Vwdiesel] Caddy in the snow

[Hayden Chasteen]

Well yesterday, Texas got its once every 10 years or so snow fall.  I 
got almost 5 inches at my house here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area.  
Took the caddy out for a spin in the snow and had quite a hard time 
getting it to come loose.  All that weight over the front wheels makes 
them just to good for snow traction.  I finally found a snow covered 
parking lot and managed to get a slight skid out of the truck at half 
throttle and with the wheel cocked almost all the way to the left.  Was 
kind of fun.  Anyway, gotta love Texas weather, 5 inches of snow 
yesterday and almost 50 today and snow is all gone.  Having lived in 
the colder snowy climates before (Utah, Missouri and Maryland) I sure 
appreciate not having snow around for long periods of time.  BTW truck 
is running great and I sold my 2002 Jetta Wagen for $16000 on eBay.  
Now just waiting for my Passat.  Hayden
