2008 Audi R8: Campo to Canada Trailblazer: The coolest way to test the new, superexotic Audi R8? Forging a 3100-mile path along the grueling Pacific Crest Trail. By Ron Kiino Photography by Brian Vance read at source> www.motortrend.com/features/travel/112_0707_2008_audi_r8"I guess we should've installed those snow tires," photographer Brian Vance mutters as the icy precipitation morphs from a slow shower into sheer whiteout, covering our gray R8 in a thick blanket of powder. Seconds ago-literally-light and fluffy snowflakes, like mini-parachutes, were floating to the ground, barely dusting the curvy two-lane that led down to the shore of southern Oregon's Crater Lake. No problem, we thought. Plus, the R8 has all-wheel drive and stability and traction control, so even if the snowfall intensified moderately, we figured we'd still be okay.
