Replying to: gtscharg (Oct 08, 2007 1:19 pm) exactly true... I have driven Audis for the past 10+ yrs. and IMO they are the best cars on the road when they work right, but unfortunately, they are not particularly reliable, and they are horrendously expensive to maintain and repair. I am about to unload my beloved '01 A6 Avant with less than 90k miles, meticulously maintained, because of catastrophic engine failure --- inexcusable in a car of this quality and mileage and maintenance history. I love Audis but I'm done owning them out of warranty.

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Dec 04, 2007 9:14 pm) surprise...I found an Oregon chain provider that makes low profile chains that work on any vehicle. They are called "Z-chains". so that solves __that__ problem.
#41 of 42 Z chains for Subaru by driverlee Dec 22, 2007 (2:36 pm)
I just bought Shur Grip Z chains (1 pair) for my 03 Outback. I am inclined to put them on the front wheels. What do you do? If rear, why? How long have you used them? Thanks.
#42 of 42 auto socks for me by kurtamaxxxguy Feb 09, 2008 (9:55 pm)
I decided on Auto socks from Norway to round out the winter while trying to decide on future AWD replacement for my Maxx (which without traction aides proved miserable on icy roads - that GM traction control literally shut the engine down when the wheels started spinning).
