amazing stability a Quattro offers

You said it, the first month I had my car I was up in CT and got caught in a blizzard. That car was on rails. My only fear was that others seeing me speed along would think road conditions were safe and rear end me when they were unable to stop.

Actually, that is the number 1 reason Audi's get wrecked - because on total ice, you still feel like the car is in control and you get over confident and go faster. I don't care what you are driving, when on total ice, ain't nothing gonna stop you :) At least with the Quattro, you have a greater chance of one of the wheels catching hold to stablize vs. 2-wheel drive or traditional AWD/4WD.
