4 Your Amusement..Quatto Comparo..sort of



I got this from a buddy of mine in Colorado this morning, the Enola Gay is
his brother's Bronco and the U-2 is my 90Q20v...
He drives a 1995 SLP Firebird Firehawk...anyway...I thought it would amuse
and entertain Q lovers.... it is written tongue in cheek:

 OK Tough Guys:
I've about had it with 4-wheel drive this (Enola Gay) and Quattro
that (U-2). Where's your collective spine? What's happened to the
intrepid horsepower & rear-wheel drive addicts? I seemed to have
surmounted the trip to work. Oh sure, toodling up a 0.5% grade on
maybe 1 inch of traveled upon highway snow at 50 MPH with throttle
typically just enough to maintain speed, and the oscillations start.
Deseptively small at first, then growing insideously a bit at a time
as the highly vaunted Goodrich ZR4's effectively give up going thru
the snow and start riding on it (gotta love 40 series and posi-trac!
Why spin 1 wheel when you can spin 2?). Can't let off the gas, then
I'll be stuck for sure. Can't get on the gas, then I'll be going
back from whence I came. Lessen the corrections to oscillations and
hope-AHA-they dampen. Then, Valhala-a patch of dry pavement!
Yee-Haw!!
Yeah, tough guys. Quattro. Four wheel drive. Scra-rew it--I want a
tracked vehicle! SnoCat will do, but M1 Abrams is preferred.
Gonna be a long winter.

P.Oh.Yeah: Regarding the intrepid rear wheel drive horsepower
addicts--they all die during the winter . . .
