Snot just came out of my nose. Oo-boo-mah-lakaa is my new favorite expression.

I love em. NP.

I'm sorry but that was really not bad at all. I string together more creative expletives when I stub my toe. If that had been me I know my reaction would have been at least that strong. The grandpa stopped walking with the kids and then decided to continue walking in the direction of the camera so obviously he…

When we were shopping for my wife's new car last fall we went to Audi for a test drive. The salesman who took us out was really the friendliest and best salesman we encountered in all of the MANY places we looked. In any case, we mentioned having trouble with being ignored at another dealer in town and he told us…

The (only) Porsche dealer in my city is known for being snobbish. Every time I had my Cayenne in for service (I bought it from another dealer in another city before I moved here) I would walk around the floor for a while checking out the new models. Not once was I ever approached or even greeted by any of the…

It worked, and you clicked as well.

So take a loan out against the now-restored value of the car. It's not hard to demonstrate the enormous value of the restored car and shouldn't be an issue. Trouble paying the loan off? Sell a Miura.

For sure. I mean who turns down a free million dollar restoration of an already valuable car?

No intended class or stuck up bullshit here, but I was talking about driving my Cayenne on all-seasons. In all types of snow situations I was never once able to get it to so much as spin a wheel when leaving an intersection. I never felt snows were ever necessary for it. If I had ever, even once, had a situation…

To each his own I guess.

You're missing my point. Knowing how your car handles when it loses grip is information that you can then use all year long, not just when your car is on snow tires. Snow is the one time of year when you can force your car to lose grip intentionally (while not on the track or a skid pad). Rain can make for slick…

Don't be melodramatic, they're not risking the lives of anyone in that video. Sub 20mph speeds (which are what most intelligent people drive at when in a city on snow covered streets) are not likely to cause anyone any serious harm, not even pedestrians.

Why wouldn't you want to know how your car handles when it loses grip? I happen to think that a light snow situation will give you the knowledge you need to have about your car so that you know how it will respond in ALL situations. A test of worst case scenario if you will. Not everyone has access to a skid pad to…

I don't need to watch it, but thank you anyway. I am fully aware of the benefits and advantages of snow tires. I live in an area that clears snow very, very well and all-season tires have always worked quite well. I'm not talking about driving a RWD car with no traction control systems in deep snow or ice—the…

I drove my AWD sports car with summer tires in the snow the other day without any trouble whatsoever. The car has 400 miles on it and I wanted to see how it would handle it. I also lived with my Cayenne S for years with all-seasons only year round and it never put a wheel wrong even though I live in the mountains. …

At the risk of going against the crowd here, I would do the exact same thing if I had either of these cars. Here's why: I want to know my car thoroughly. You can learn a lot about your car in conditions where you're likely to lose traction. (How does the car respond when it breaks free? What are the warning shots…

Why wouldn't you take the car out? It's only 2 inches of snow.

Out of curiosity, down thread we have a guy saying that this guy's car had active steering and as such has a different steering set up that could make this possible. Make sense to you or still bull?

You don't want to be forced to live? I sure hope you have a living will and are DNR/DNI.

Removed for nevermind.
