Default Where in MN are you?
If you don't get too crazy it shouln't be a problem. I only had it kick in a few times last winter, but like you said we did't see many large snowfalls (I'm in the metro area).

Remember that quattro=good when putting power down, quattro=useless when braking.

Default So am I. We gotta meet up sometime. And oh yeah, just drive it like a
FWD car, and you should be good. ESP or not, we all stop on four wheels.
