Stang = rear wheel drive, right? So I guess different drive trains have different "features" when driving in the snow?

I know!! That picture is very much like my scene from yesterday. I ended up on a grass median. It just started snowing so I had enough traction to get out. But yeah, my tires are bald. The car is worthless to me.
