Little old ladies drive Mustangs and Cameros around in the snow here and don't think anything of it.
For most of the history of the automobile everybody drove around in RWD cars in the snow. On bias ply tires, no power brakes or steering, no traction control or electronic aids, no ABS and frequently with vacuum powered windshield wipers and no heater. Now all of a sudden a lightweight car full of assisting devices is hard to drive in the snow for some people?
