    Butt hurt? Far from it, it's the internet guy. And once again you failed to see that his post mentioned anything about snow. Please quote where he said that. The only person that has mentioned anything about a 10 second daily is you. And if one is concerned about driving in snow then why even bother looking at a FWD. Common sense would tell me that I would be better off buying something with 4wd or AWD. But then again common sense isn't too common nowadays.

    Common sense still dissent dictate which wheels are better driven in snow/ice. Hell even the 40ton tank on tracks will slide in ice at low speeds.
