    @sakimano Dude a used 4 year old Audi A8 is around 35-40k. Or 5-6 years from 20-30k. They get cheap fast but if you get one with a fair amount of mileage on it, they are a beauty to have and fun to drive. I own an A6 and I cant wait to get an A8.

    LOL, dude I love your video. I wish I had a camera to record the same thing that happened to me on the roads of Montreal. While everyone was stuck, I was listening to LIVING ON A PRAYER from Jon Bon Jovi and driving like it was the summer of 69 hehehe, I love Quattro.

    @hrfbody – don’t worry – you get rain there in VA Beach. Quattro can certainly help keep you on the road in rain that would cause other cars to slide (FWD included). In the rain I can drive the A4 much more confidently (and faster) than in the Accord or minivan.

    @7477238 – yeah and they don’t realize that the high center of gravity in those SUV’s means that even if they can move with the 4 wheel drive they still can’t maneuver well. That’s why unfortunately they spin into ditches etc.

    Once in a steeper hill I had the same experience, only I was driving a Subaru Outback, everyone around me was stopped.. They were staring at my car in disbelief!

    LMAO! I know this area. Greenbelt / CP got slammed pretty good. My A4 was moving along with no issues – meanwhile all these imposter SUVs were stuck. I do have to admit I was a bit jealous of a Subie WRX that went blasting by me like it was running an FIA Rally. Guy drifted a nice turn onto the off ramp too.

    Awesome video showcasing the abilities of the Quattro system. A lot of Americans think their SUVs will plow through snow, they forgot that 4×4 was really invented for off roading.
