click on that channel.That guy said, If your car is rear wheel drive,
stay home!

No way. RWD is way more fun that FWD on snowy roads. Just remember to take
a case of beer to help pass the time once you land in the ditch.

So much misinformation out there. best snow car I ever had was my
Porsche 944 with Dunlop Winter Sports. Now that may not be the best car
overall in snow but tires make more difference than what end's wheels
are driven; and given decent weight dist and high polar moment I'd
prefer RWD thanks.

A Corvair with winter tires will just keep going. Around the
wrecked super duper automatic this and electronic that.

I agree! I used do 360's in intersections.

Not when you're having fun doing donuts and let it get away from you. Thats
when you learn there is such a thing as too-much fun.

Yeah, but you can't do donuts or slide the ass-end out in a FWD car, which
is what I meant in my original reply.

Like nate wrote, tires, tires and TIRES.

Give me an empty road, RWD, and proper snow tires and I love driving in
the snow.

A Snowmobile.

Yeah the Corvair is great in the snow but the heater sucks unless you
have a gas heater.

25+ years ago, we had a pretty bad ice storm in a small town where I
lived. (Less than 600 people)
At that time, there was a young, large woman (okay, she was a fat
chick. sorry) who drive a Chevette.
A half dozen of us guys riding in my car never laughed so hard when
she would intentionally spin doughnuts at this one intersection by
cranking the steering wheel and hitting the emergency brake,
repeatedly.
Every guy in our car had sore torso muscles the next day from laughing
so hard.
I don't make fun of people, obese people included, but there was
something about a Chevette with a women driver who seemingly took up
every inch of usable interior space doing doughnuts through a deserted
intersection that seemed amusing. Of course, a bunch of beer in our
system probably didn't make matters any better.
