Default First Seattle snow for my V1
Finally got some snow in Seattle, must have been 2-3 inches haha. Michelin Pilot Super Sports are holding up nice. Just kidding, parked the car as soon as it started to come down. Def won't be taking it out for a spin

Driving the Sierra Denali. So many cars on the side of the road you would think we got 10 feet.

It was horrible in Atlanta. They got like 1 inch and it looked like The Walking Dead from what I saw. LOL

I'm driving in this snow in NYC, in the V. Saw a guy in a Maserati stranded not too long ago in maybe an inch or so.

Tires tires tires.

First storm, thats cute haha. We have had about 10 or so this winter already in CO so I feel your pain. Not one has stopped the V though! At a dead stop, first gear gets neglected a bit when the white stuff is falling though ha!


Thinking I might get me one of these for my snow DD!

Parked my V also and drove around in the Denali watching all the Seattlites abandon their cars like lemmings. Hilarious!

I daily my V here in the frozen tundra, Ontario. I have winter tires installed and it's just fine. Granted my previous Audi would do circles around it in the white stuff, but I have no difficulty getting around.

My V didn't have a problem at all in the Atlanta mess. Luckily I had just had new tires put on literally the day before. They are summer tires, but held up great for doing 10mph, haha. Looks like I might get another chance to test it out this week.

Its easy to not have a problem when you can't move anywhere because of gridlock. Its ok. Chipper Jones will come rescue you on his 4wheeler LOL.
