[Vwdiesel] TDI Passet 4 motion

[Terry Briggs]

You would think that with the snow we get here in the northeast, they 
would have chain areas, but I suppose we get more snow regularly than 
they do in california. I can't recall how many times I've had to drive 
through 8 inches of snow with just all season radials on over the 
years, Of course I put studded snows on the cars, even the jeep come 
Nov 1st. You'd be surprised where you can go with those tires, places 
you really shouldn't go, but it motors right on through.
