Bad idea. No big deal if you are driving a 8 year old honda civic fwd or something. Even in Michigan, where I grew up, we all drove in the snow, and even with fwd cars you will inevitably get into a bumber bender. It's unavoidable if you drive in snow regularly. If you live anywhere that has more gradients than hwy overpassess, never take out a rwd car unless you have SNOW tires, even then you're taking your chances with all the other morons, and there's lots of em out there.

The moral of this is it depends on how much snow your area gets also. If I lived in Michigan, I would have a nice older truck for winter. The 370Z generally does fine in my area though. I have insurance for fender benders.
