4 months? Try 6 months!! FFS, I'm burning a hole in my card holder as I sit behind the glass and watch the snow continue to fall! Buying aimless parts just to satisfy the inner car guy.. Only so much you can do, I couldn't winter drive here with this car if I wanted to. Even at stock height, no front spoiler and AWD, the front end would take such a beating from overall ground clearance issues, stones flying off of oncoming traffic and cars ahead of you, it's just not worth it. I'd spend a minimum of $1-2k annually just to refinish my front end, new windshield, the list goes on. For that cost, I purchased and insure my winter truck instead. Saves some km's and most importantly the car stays mint, longer. It's a bit sad because winter driving here can be a total blast.
Time for an old 90 Quattro with rear locking diff, hey?!
