Dang... Hope you were alright though. On the upside, now I guess you can look into a body kit

Default What was tread depth on your tires?

Quattro is great and very helpful in those situations but you can't understate the importance of good tires.

Default Driving school might be more helpful than quattro. gotta learn how to drive in those situations.

and learn how to recover.

Quattro doesn't help if your car hydroplates. There is no traction at all 4 wheels.
