Astonishing in snow. You have to change your driving style.

One time got nerfed off an interstate in heavy snow,
car spun around going backwards and sideways, I was
expecting to hit the guardrail, then the car tilted "oops no
guardrail!", slid down a 30ft embankment, and stopped 5
feet from the tree line. It was perfectly quiet, the engine was
still running, I reached between the seats and turned off
the engine (it's a SAAB thing ) Asked my wife
if she was Ok, she was. Got out of the car, someone was stopped
up top. I asked if they were the ones that hit us, he laughed
"No you were hit by a bus! He's parked up the road!

There was a 4-in ding on the top L corner of the L rear
quarter panel! (That's Swedish aircraft steel for you)
Parents didn't believe me! (my f*ing car oy!) Called
the state police and the bus station.

I'm the black sheep if you hadn't guessed!

Currently I love FWD twin-cam Toys!

Some (mistaken) people say you can't drive at speed or drift
around corners in a FWD car.
