Over the past few years I have simply not driven this car enough. Last year I think I did 200kms total. My goal for 2022 is to change that. With the way things are going in the car world (EV etc) I am done with keeping it parked. Will try and rack up the km's now and really enjoy it.

Sun was out the other day (Feb 1) so I took it to run some errands.

How do you find the exhaust fan sitting behind your Audi? Do you find that it picks up or collects a lot of dust on your car?

No issues with it whatsoever. I park the bike in front of it and haven’t noticed any extra dust on the bike or car.

Since the RS and STi are busted, my wife and I took the flex ice racing. What an absolute beast! Almost at the top for studless AWD

It drips oil. Absolute no no for being on a frozen lake. Haven’t had time to book it in to get fixed between ice racing and covid etc.

The flex has better and bigger tires than the RS (aired down to 20psi). Long wheelbase for stability didn’t matter much because stability control cannot be turned off. Traction yes but not VSC. So if you got it tooo sideways it would auto brake until you were slow and straight again. It also has nice soft suspension you can preload and control into corners

The RS is awful ice racing. It’s low, it’s stiff. Fat sway bars on full stiffness. Low profile tires etc. It’s fun but horrible for putting down fast times. The flex was a beast

Inb4 you have to buy another new daily after you start modding the Flex for ice racing.

Say what you want, but I always liked the Flex. Ecoboost motor hauls and there's room for the whole family.

The Flex was my nemesis and the Flex won

Going up sucked - I left around 6 because one of the convoy members had a delay at home. Pitch black, non reflective road lines, wet, pooling water, some rocks, lots of foggy sections. Lots of potholes around Chilliwack and Hope. Once you’re through the one lane sections at Boston Bar it got better.

Going down was better as it wasn’t raining or foggy, and you could actually see the road ahead. We left around 4:30 so had some light to start the journey too.

I’m not worthy of the mighty Flex!

My wife and another car, we did hwy 5 to merritt then 97c/d to cache creek. It was awesome and perfectly fine. High speed the whole way and not even as sanded as usual because it’s been closed most the winter
