I've got one too. On the way in to work a guy in his "M" badged 740i couldn't do more then 10mph on

the off ramp, when I cruised by him like he wasn't moving. Must have been the lack of quattro and 20" rims he had, or the "M" badge gave him too much power to handle the snow :P

I see lots of pickups here in FTC with the same setups too.

And a lot of the mud tires you see on 4wd pickups suck in the snow.

ya - snow 1 vs. meterologists & plow crews 0

7:30 AM the wife & I encountered zero plow efforts between our house & Lutheran Hospital where she had a scheduled surgery. 4.2 quattro was fun, we took Garrison right past Prestige & through the glens north to 29th where there was zero traffic to crash into us.

a pickup overtook me in the right lane this morning, then slid through the intersection...

at a 45deg angle, down my lane and his. Luckily I'd left 3 car lengths between the car in front and me. The pickup stopped about 3 feet behind the car in front, while his rear end narrowly missed a streetlight pole. Then he spun his rear tires trying to escape the scene of the "crime". RWD + bad tires + idiot = FTL
