i tried driving the truck down my street once in about 2" of snow over winter just for the hell of it. i had about 200 lbs of stuff in that back that i was storing back there and even still it was really hard to drive. mayb i just suck at driving. and every audi i am looking at, im making sure to ask right away when the tie rods were done, timing belt, and water pump. i kno those r big items on A4s and i am taking that into consideration.
