    Also, the road surfaces there are made to do well in hot summers, not to remain "sticky" in cold winters.

    That's so interesting, because I've never owned a vehicle that wasn't RWD. That's something that wouldn't readily have occurred to me.

    Yeah. Getting home during the Snowlocaust last year sucked.

    No they aren't - you just have to learn how to drive them.
