I prefer a clean car but oh man did I have some fun today.

Went to work, everything unplowed in the morning; half the fun was getting there. During work the car got buried with snow, took me 30 mins to clean it off around 5:00.
The drive home was also awesome, just me and a bunch of snowplows out there, even came across a bunch of unplowed streets. Now it needs to melt and warm up so I can wash off everything I accumulated today.

Driving my car on Toronto's streets has ripped the skid plate to shreads... I just replaced in in June 2007.
It is good though to drive a Quattro and feel the safety of good engineering.
I drove a Jeep YJ a few years ago... different... and AUDI makes you feel like you are NOT driving a buggy with a horse!

I drove 150kms today around the GTA... it has been a pleasure and I would not trade Quattro for any FWD or RWD setup...

I went out last night about 2AM, it was insane.
I must admit that I had (somewhat) hard time getting out of my spot cuz the snow around my car was proboably over 70cm.
And the car is pretty low, so it felt like I was plowing the snow.

As much as I love driving in snow, I'd rather drive with open windows and sunroof.
But apparenlty we'll have more snow and storms on the way.
