Curious... did you try out PSM, diff and suspension settings in any deep snow?
To be honest, I didn't. Next time.

Cool pic. For the [img] command to work, I believe it needs to refer to a valid picture file such as .jpg, not just a weblink.

I use Tinypic and what they have is a tag (?) for the photo I upload (to Tinypic) that says something like "URL for message boards" associated with each photo. Copy that link and post it directly in the text portion of your post, the pic should show up then.

Now maybe it doesn't work that way for non-members, I don't know, but give it a try.

On Flickr choose View All Image Sizes.

View the one you want.

Right click on the picture when it is showing on the screen and choose Copy Image URL (at least that is the option in Chrome)

Post the URL as the IMG URL...



And there you go

Default 2 Pigs in Snow

This was what I saw from my window in the morning. The one on the left is my '13 GTS and the one on the right is my '06 S. Both had a great time in the snow when tons of cars were stuck.

The previous post may have answered my question....I am in the process of ordering a new Cayenne and I know it would look fabulous against a Montana winter backdrop. mmmmm how does it actually drive in the fluffy white stuff when it is knee deep? Well, maybe not THAT deep but......

Thanks for any input.

I've had lifted Jeeps, trucks, Audis, etc.

The Audis with proper snow tires have been the best in any snow below their doors.

The very close second is the Cayenne. It handles the deep stuff better.

The only potential downside to the Cayenne for some is that the PSM (Porsche Stability Management) is not as conservative as say the Audi. It lets you have some room to play before it steps in to save you.

Deserted shopping mall parking lots and 8-12 inches of snow = great fun in the cayenne with PSM off. Slow motion drifting is epic.

Just admired this morning in the worst (and hopefully last) snow storm of the year, how the Cayenne (with good winter tires) dealt with it almost like the snow was not even there ... even on unploughed roads!

The only potential downside to the Cayenne for some is that the PSM (Porsche Stability Management) is not as conservative as say the Audi. It lets you have some room to play before it steps in to save you.
I actually much prefer an "aggressive" traction control, some wheel slippage in the hands of a skilled winter driver can be well used to get the job done. I never had to turn it off!

My conservative BMW (albeit rear wheel drive) just sits there, flashing an orange dash light, not even trying to spin the wheels sometimes because the traction control decides "not enough traction"! WTF? so I should just sit there till the snow melts in spring?

Default Peaceful Vt. last week

While I was skiing, my wife got stuck on ice, going to her damn massage. She was easily pushed out. I was told to use PSM in off position when stuck??? She didn't know this. New Pirellis too...

My little P!ggly laughs at 12 inches of snow. Well, except for the stopping part.
