"awd" might help you accelerate to 25mph just fine but what happens when it's time to stop or turn??????? ------> fail

I almost died on Mt Hamilton when it was below freezing and the road got a LIGHT flocking of the white stuff... I couldn't steer AT ALL, 0%, NADA... The edge of the cliff got closer and closer and I couldn't do ANYTHING about it. I was going around 10-15mph tops, by some act of god the car caught a SMALL patch of traction and since I was counter steering the traction sent the car the other way (away from the cliff).
I WILL NEVER, EVER, EVEEEEER make that mistake again. I pulled over right after and had to retrieve my ***** from the road... They went right out the window after that incident. I seriously thought I was going to die as it was up near the observatory where there are no trees and its a 500 foot sheer drop.
