		<description>My car has rear-wheel drive. First, if you live in an area that receives alot of snow annually, do not purchase a rear-wheel drive car! If you must, or have made that mistake, here are some additional tips for making your car safe for the winter. 

Add extra weight to your car. The key to rear-wheel in the snow is keeping RPMs low and keeping weight in the back. I  drive a car that is rear-wheel and my dad and I outfitted it with small moldings that would hold a cinderblock over each wheel well. It was easy to do using simple logic. Other things used to weigh it down are old microwaves, extra bags of sand/rock salt etc. 

Of course you want to remove these blocks or heavy items when not in danger of snow to keep fuel efficiency as high as possible.</description>

		<description>This is reassuring information for people like me who are timid about driving in snow.  You don&#039;t mention chains (I&#039;m assuming you&#039;re writing this for regions where people use snow tires?) but l need to learn how to use them!</description>
