update: i called today about that red A4 in my first post, and talked to the guy and wheeled-and-dealed for about an hour on the phone and we agreed on a price, so i will be going to get it hopefully one day next week. i thought long and hard about the trade off of not having AWD, and came to realize that there really arn’t a lot of times where i would really need AWD. if it snows that badly and i absolutely have to go out, i can always use my mom’s blazer. again, please feel free to rip me apart for buying a 2wd Audi for my DD. that is all. ---

I’ve never had a huge terrible problem with driving a 2wd car in the winter. ---

> [@RedGoober4Life](#): > > I’ve never had a huge terrible problem with driving a 2wd car in the winter. Nor have I…I’ve had pretty good success with 4 snows on the SHO…with lowering springs…_and_ towing a snowmobile in some nasty weather. never once got stuck. Mikes98RT…glad to hear you came to a conclusion. ---

LXTASY, i dont want u to think that i ignored u when u suggested looking into SHOs, but my family has had extremely horrible luck with fords over the years, and i don’t think that would go over too well if i came home with a tarus and called it my ‘reliable daily driver.’ i really do like that era SHO though, i just have a thing with Fords (unless its a mustang)… ---

I’ve been lucky with my car partially because I’ve been around the SHO for a while and know what to look for. I think you made a good choice with the Audi. ---
