What tires do u have the 3? Seems like the tread pattern on the Audi is much more suited for snow to begin with. Seems like the Audi tires are cutting deeper too.

I have to do a ton of driving tomorrow. Kind of looking forward to seeing how the Touareg performs with its new Hakkapeliitta Rs...

Darin911 · 12-08-2009, 09:14 PM

i have a feeling that this snow storm is going to be SOFT like mcdicks soft ice cream cones. BUT since its our first snow fall of this season. the roads are going to be fucked up and people wont know how to drive.

OwnAge · 12-08-2009, 09:23 PM

Heheh im still on my summers and I cant wait for the storm tonight. More snow the better. Bring it

No problems for me this morning. I was quite impressed with the xDrive, the car took off from a stop with no slipping at all and I had no issues while driving as well.

I noticed my front end (except for the headlights and foglights) was completed covered in snow and ice once I got to work.

who's ur daddy? · 12-09-2009, 08:16 AM

The first two cars I saw that were in trouble were Honda Civics...not that that means anything - I live in Markham anyways...lol.

But all of the cars in trouble seemed to have been caught in the ridges created by the snowplows...

SGxi · 12-09-2009, 08:22 AM

Stupid ice build ups along the driver side edge of the windsheild drives me nuts...

Put on front defrost means my feet gets cold...
