What is the point of getting an AWD drive car if you live in a warm climate?

Are these people slamming the gas on the line? What if you don't do that?

Is it safe to say you don't need AWD in your sports car if you never lose traction?
I drive plenty fast in my sports car, but NEVER drive so hard to lose traction.
Who drives so fast in turns that the car is sliding out, and you need AWD?
Anyone over the age of 18?

Good read.

I'd rather have a vehicle with AWD or 4x4 and not need it than someday wish I did. But where I live we're in 3 feet of snow right now so my old 4x4 Suzuki has had it's workout this winter. I've pulled 6 cars, and 1 2wd chevy truck out from ditches and snowbanks already.
