That's why Audi's cost so much more up there. People know how good they are up there. Useless down here.

Had one like that here this last week. With all the nice weather we have had it took a real toll on all the trees. One day they were covered with leaves, the next branchless..

I do love an AWD car too. Currently it is an eagle talon, prior to that was a 4.2 a6

That is some really wet snow. I'm glad we didn't get that up here. But then, Canada is known for its warm winters.

AWD isn't useless in Texas if you make enough power to need it

Hmmm, that's what it's gonna look like here in in a week and a half.

And at least now we know S4's are good for something...

Took my car out today. Nice in Calgary tomorrow too. 58 for a high tomorrow.

S4's are awesome in the snow though. My friends V8 S4 in the winter would not lose control even when we tried to get it too.

Just got back from Scarsdale and I had to make a bunch of detours with power lines and trees down. My neighbors Oak tree lost 5 big branches. Thank god I chopped all the big trees around me. Carlos what happened to the 335i? Did you sell it?

It truly was not much around DC but the problem is/was the heavy wet snow on trees still full of leaves only required a small amount to start the snapping.

Glad I slapped my snows on my S4 yesterday.

Great pictures but... gross. I hate winter. I'm trying to absorb as much of fall as possible before we start to see the white nasty fall from the sky here in Chicago.
