Ivan, I kinda had the reverse experience around that time. I had a good friend who I worked with in his first year in Tennessee. He made the same comment as yours and laughed, saying everyone should get a volkswagon like he drove and quit worrying.
That year I pulled him out of three ditches in the first winter. He didn"t realize that the counties back then didn"t have much snow equipment, salt, budget funds, etc for what few snows we would get. He also didn"t realize that our snows ended up being packed on the road, partially melting, and then refreezing overnite.
Net result was that he learned the difference in driving in snow versus on slick ice and driving on hills and hollows versus flat to slightly rolling. His biggest surprise was when he was parked in stalled traffic and his little volkswagon slid off the road sideways into the ditch even though he was parked!
(Thankfully, the counties now do a better job and have more equipment. Now we need to get a snow every now and then.)
