    Basically went drifting on the snow-covered public roads today when nobody was around.... quattro got engaged a lot I was laughing my ass off so hard, it was great.

    Aside from that, I've had to brush snow & ice off of it twice so far, and tonight will be a third.

    Used it today and worked flawlessly. Now I'm trying to figure out how to route it so it stays nicely out of the way.

    Q: Do the power points have a timer to shut off? The LED on the charger is still one when I go back to the car. Am I sucking my battery down?

    Well, within the last week, ordered a forge cold air intake, boost gauge with pod and hardware, cam follower, and dsg fluid and filter all from ecs tuning.. Installed the intake and boost gauge the 4 days ago, installed the cam follower 2 days ago (old follower looked to be in good shape), and today redid the alignment and oil change at work..

    I know between Drew, RedlineRob's cousin, and Mkim's wheels we should set up a GTG at a wheel repair shop.
