Driven rear wheel drive cars most f my youth since only trucks where 4 wheel drive and front wheel was not in the picture, lived all my life in NE and they didn't cancel school like now when a snow flake comes down, I drove a tractor trailer professionally for about 8 years and driven cross country numerous times from N to S and E to W and have not gotten in an accident caused by me do the math in miles driven.. I'll take my chances ..
Sure, you can probably get away with driving a Z in snow, but why would you? According to your profile you're 56 years old, so you have plenty of experience and know damn well that a Z is one of the worst winter-performing cars you can possibly buy. Why not have a winter beater and stop endangering yourself and everyone else on the road? They're out there; I got a 2004 Grand Cherokee for $1500.

Here's why I don't drive lightweight RWD cars in the winter if I have an alternative. It's just common sense. The first one is me last year, the 2nd is my wife 2 weeks ago.
