get GOOD tires and rwd is way way way better… plus you wont ever stay in on snowy nights.
learning to drive rwd in slippery conditions will make you such a better driver.
heck, last week i was driving in bad weather and i dont have great tires on my 240 beater, i took my eyes off the road to put a pair of gloves on for just a second and i ended up at a 45 degree angle at 50kph on a street with ditches on both sides… i freaked the hell out of a dude in oncoming traffic in a BELL service truck…
however… a couple flicks of the wheel and throttle and a few more fishtails later just so i could enjoy it and i was back on my way.
if i hadnt had so much experience or if i was in a fwd car i would have ditched it and be looking for a new beater right now… i would have been late for work too.
