Not me ... I've never put extra weight in the trunk of any of my RWD cars during the winter time.

Neither do I, so I don't. Never put snow tires on ... never added weight to the trunk.
And, no, I don't drive 15mph. Heck, in the snow we had Friday, I was driving more aggressively than others around me ... if only because the roads were actually better than I thought they'd be. So, I knew I didn't have to worry ... meanwhile, I was stuck behind a young guy (college age, I would guess) in a Ch#$r%*et Prizm ... going 40 in a 55.

The AWD vehicle I got into a skid with a few weeks ago and with the combination of AWD and Traction Control I was able to recover my vehicle without going off road or damaging the vehicle.

Wait ... what?
When I first read this, I read it as a "one time in a RWD car" ... because that is what I was expecting to read. Then, I noticed it was a '94 Accord and knew I had read that initial statement wrong.
So, how'd you manage to get INTO skids with the FWD and AWD vehicles?
