Quote: I'm happy for you Christian. Enjoy the new G. Also, Let us know how the car is in the snow.
Handling in the snow has proven to be no problem at all, the slip indicator flashes a lot but it seems to handle it well. Ice is another story. I need to drive very slowly coming up to a stop and increase my following distance. Keep in mind I don't have winters on it yet, and I am thinking about getting Pilot Alpin PA2 v rated snow tires installed at Costco. Has anyone used these tires before?

I keep forgetting my camera a home, I'll post some pictures soon but don't expect the perfect show room shine. That's been gone for a while now thanks to the dreaded evil white stuff.

Are you going to change the rims?

Once you get your winters on the real fun will start. One word "UNBELIEVABLE "
I have my 17" blizzaks ordered for my 07, so they will be ready to go.

I don't think so, not for witers. If I do decide to buy new rims in the near future I would rather spend the money on some 18s or 19s for the summer. I guess I could just buy some steel wheels for the winter, but it will look terrible.

That's what I think. The more I see the X rims the more I like them so I'd keep them for summer. I just don't know what to get for winter.

So, are you taking it out at lunch??

I put PA2's on my Quattro last year (from Costco), first winter tires I have ever owned. I still can not believe how much traction they have on ice, combined with AWD I feel like I can go anywhere. I can not wait to get my X and compare winter driving to my A4.

Overall I am very happy with the navigation system, I just need to get it setup properly. The graphics are amazing and the whole system is very fast. So far I have to say that it is the best navigation I've used. Don't worry about it I'm sure you will be very happy with it.

Christian, you need to look at this. BMC, Joel right in cowtown is selling his Alpins.

Thanks for the thought, but I need them to fit my 17" wheels. Too bad, that seems like an amazing deal.
