SNOW testimonial!

["Joseph F. Governali" <jfgovern@mailbox.syr.edu>]

	Just a quick testimonial...  
	The big winter storm has arrived, and this morning I woke to find
the 87 5KTQ BURIED in 14" of fresh snow.  As I trudged past a fellow
motorist who was busy digging out his GEO Prism, I noticed that the snow
had drifted over both the front and back of the car.  Great, I thought, an
added challenge!
	After brushing the snow off, and allowing the car to warm-up, I
engaged reverse and hit the gas!  As the snow was high enough to almost
"float" the car, the wheels had trouble finding traction.  After a few
attempts, I locked the diffs, and SHAZAM!!  The car dug through and
motivated!  The car made it to the plowed-out road (about 20 yards), and
got me to work safely.  
	((Of course, the Dunlop Graspic HS-1's might have had something to
do with it as well!))  :-)  All in all, an excellent adventure.
	--> Interesting note: The Quattro system is far superior to the
AWD system which my '90 Mitsubishi Eclipse used.  

	Sorry for the BW, but thought some listers might get a kick out of
the story!
