Allen,
That's not really what I was saying. I also learned to drive on RWD, a '73
Dodge Coronet, an '80 Pinto (mom's) and a '79 Dodge Aspen. It's not that he
shouldn't drive any RWD cars in the snow, but a price is no object MGB is
not the one to learn on. I do respect RWD handling, in fact I prefer it,
but with a light car with (most likely) relatively wide tires, and hard to
replace, it's better left out of the hands of newly licensed drivers when
there's ice and snow all over the place. The whole point is moot as far as
Eddie's concerned, as it turns out he lives in southern California.
