SNOW DAYS in the Q! :)

[savidesn@audvid.win.net (Darin Nederhoff)]

Hey gang, here in the upper midwest we got dumped on by the white
stuff last night... just thought I'd share experiences for those
of you cursed with living in a warm sunny southern climate
(Christian Long & Daniel Hussey this means YOU!)  ;) 


Well, we got snow dumped on us overnight so I decided to go clean
the 12" of snow of the top of my Coupe Q and then take it for a
little spin around the neighborhood. WOW! There's like 8"-12" of
snow on the roads! haha!  ;)  I saw no less than SEVEN cars and
trucks that were stuck in the snow (all within a mile from here). 
;)  The funniest thing was seeing them sitting there trying to get
pushed out by several other people as I cut into the deepest snow
to go around them! Haha... Oh man, you should have SEEN the looks
on their faces when I did that!  haha! GO QUATTRO!  :) :) :)   I
did come to the rescue of no less than 4 cars (oh yeah, and ONE guy
I had to help TWICE because his little Chevy S-10 truly sucked in
snow). ;) 

One of the best parts was when I was starting to go up this hill in
8" of snow and this guy was out shoveling his driveway.  The guy
motions for me to come over to him, so I do and he tells me I'd be
better off going around the block the other way because a little 4x4
Chevy truck got stuck going up the hill about 20 mins before I came.
He said my little 'sports car' would have no chance! HMMMmmmmmm... I
kinda laughed and told him I'd be ok as I looked at his sunken
Accord in his own driveway.  ;)  Then I popped the clutch and plowed
right up to the top of the hill (throwing snow at all four
corners)! I -LOVE- days like this! ;)  There were two guys at the
top with shovels that were clapping at me as I crested the hill! 
(I've never had a grin this big before!)   :)  These Blizzacks
really do the trick! 

Anyhow, that's my story so far....  but the day is young.  ;)



Drive safe guys and gals,

Darin
