OH MY GOD!!! I LOVE QUATTRO!!

[Michael Williams <daserde@ucla.edu>]

Hello all, i just got back from driving home for thanksgiving, which 
included a trip up the long highway 101 from LA all the way to the bay 
area.  As i reached a little north of San Luis Obispo, the heavens opened 
up and i was caught in a torrential downpour for the next few hundred 
miles.  In fact, the rain did not let up until o got home, and even then 
it was getting worse.  This is the first time that i have ever really 
driven a q in bad weather and i am very, very impressed.  This car 
handles better in the rain than in the dry!  I was able to travel the 
highway at above 80 mph through huge puddles without even a hint of 
losing any control.  And then i locked the center diff....oh god...that 
was incredible.  I was driving down this street called Oshaughessy in San 
Francisco, with the center locked.  and the street was very, very wet.  I 
had a blast drifting it around the turns.  As i was getting down to the 
bottom of the hill, i lifted on the throttle in the middle of a turn to 
have some fun, and it was beautiful.  The rear just drifted out 
gracefully and i did a little rallye turn down there....wow...God this 
hting is a blast.  Why cant it rain like that all the time??? :o(

Later all, i am sure that i didnt say anything that you all didnt know 
already...
