rearwheel drive + snow, mud = crash/stuck

Got a 2001GT stuck in the snow, then stuck on flat pavement and it wouldn't budge.

Got my 88GT stuck in the mud on a trail recently.[:@]

you guys need to learn how to drive! I drove mine in the snow and I was fine, I mean it wanted to slide a little but I could drive it fine. My 5.0 was my only car all winter and we get snow in va.
