I remember when cars were big and rear wheel drive, you put snow tires on the back and some weight in the trunk...I did the same with my 2wd truck when I was stationed in Colorado, i never saw so much snow and ice, even coming from ohio, and i never recall getting stuck. Most people think 4WD is a necessity here, and I have jumped on that bandwagon, yet I used a 2wd truck here for 5 years with no difficulty at all. Just gotta know what you're doing.
I grew up skiing Colorado with a '74 Camaro - no chains, no snow tires. Nothing but All Seasons and a feel for how the thing would behave. I doubt I'd be so comfortable now, tho!

Coming from Maine I can say, sometimes a tuned foot just isn't enough on hills.

I never had snow tires on my 94 Sentra coupe, was a snow tank, never got stuck in 6 winters with that car and on just all seasons. I remember passing Scooby Doos just as stable as you please :)
I spent many a winter in my 1980 Ford Fiesta and know how stable the fwd can be, but more so than a Scooby-Doo?
