get up to a normal speed:)  Here come the replies...

We used to have VW microbuses, and those were great in the snow too.

I'd pose that the reason the Bug and Bus were good in the snow

was less the front-to-rear weight distribution, and more due to

the weight of the engine over the driving wheels.



ObjMiataContent:

After I convert my Miata to rear-engine format,

I'll post to the list about the improved snow performance. :-)
