We had a 94 Olds front wheel drive and it was the most *amazing* non-4wd vehicle I've ever taken out in slick stuff.

Ever heard of snow tires? You can accomplish a whole lot more with snow tires on a RWD vehicle than on a FWD with normal tires. I've been taking off on up-hill slopes in the slush and snow this winter and easily passing FWD cars. I've never gotten stuck in my 300SD in 7 years of driving through every kind of snow storm imaginable.
