Cool video.

I have to share the story of when I bought my 2010 A4 S-Line last saturday...

We left Peterborough in the morning right in the middle of a blizzard, We contemplated whether or not to risk the drive from PTBO to Oshawa to shop for an Audi, but in the end we decided to go.

We finally made it to the dealer after some white knuckle driving and there had to be 20cm of snow in the dealers lot and the 401 was hellish - if you know the 401 you know what i mean.

We walked in and the salesman looked truly surprised to see us.

Anyhow, I wish I had video taped my test drive. I was changing lanes on the 401 at over 100km/hr through piles of slush and snow... I'm convinced there was a wake of slush and snow behind us.

The car handled like dream and the salesman, get this, was more interested in going through all the MMI features etc than paying any attention to the road conditions or how i was driving.

When we got back to the dealer I bought the car on the spot. I take delivery this weekend.

I predict a post in a couple of months detailing how he wrecked his car.

ah yes, let's not forget that laws of physics still apply AWD or no.
