Sorry, when you live up north you learn how to drive in bad weather, and get used to it. I live in Eastern South Dakota.

I have a 1986 Chevy Caprice for my winter beater. 305 V8, no posi-traction, 3.08 rear gears.

I put about 300 pounds of cement in the trunk, and that combined with good snow tires makes a world of difference compared to regular tires.

I have only had a problem if the roads are solid ice or drifted shut with snow, and that is when nobody is able to get around. People who criticize rear wheel drive cars are usually the ones who don't know how to drive in bad winter weather to begin with.
