If you have room, i.e., not a lot of traffic, front-wheel drive and
cruise control is great.

If the drive wheels begin to slip, CC keeps them going at a speed
consistent with the car's speed, so that as soon as the road gets a
little less slippery, they grip again.


Pardon?????
Cruise control on a slippery surface? You've got a death wish, buddy.
Read ANY operators manual - they expressly warn AGAINST using cruise
on a slippery surface. Even with traction control, the Mystique warned
against it - and that was ALL SPEED traction control - front drive.

Even worse if you happen to have a trac-loc front diff.


But fog and traction aren't related.
