I too drive a lowered fwd compact through the winter and I live in one of the severest winter areas in the lower 48- Northern MN. Where I live the snow arguement is practically moot, as at the sign of the first flake a fleet of plow trucks with salt spreaders springs into action with blinding speed. And even if you do encounter some snow or some potholes you just need to be a little smart about it instead of plowing through everything like a mindless drone.

Whereabouts in Northern MN?
It's a beautiful area.
To prove your point I ask everyone to look back into the 60's, when pickups were for contractors and SUV's essentially didn't exist. Just like you said, Frank, they drove to the conditions, as is recommended by traffic laws.
Anyway,
