But how well does a rear-wheel car do in the snow? -NT - (admin) - (19) - Jan. 8, 2002, 11:47:45 AM EST

with posi rearend much better than front wheel drive - (boxley) - (12) - Jan. 8, 2002, 11:53:50 AM EST

That seems counter-intuitive. - (admin) - (11) - Jan. 8, 2002, 11:55:32 AM EST

4 wheel drive is geared towards additional traction in deep - (boxley) - (8) - Jan. 8, 2002, 12:03:20 PM EST

If you're used to it (and careful), it's manageable. - (CRConrad) - (5) - Jan. 8, 2002, 12:42:29 PM EST
