Sorry it might be a stupid question? (re: FWd or WRD)

Technically, the motor is in front of the back axles so wouldn't that make it a mid-engine car??

Similar to the Pontiac Fiero or the Toyota MR2. The original Beetle is rear engine vehicle.

If I can buy a front engine car that drives the rear wheels, then why don't they make a rear engine car that drives the front wheels?

If it's rear wheel drive, which rear wheel does it drive. And why do I need two chains in the winter? If I only use one set what if I put the chain on the wrong wheel, will I hurt anything?

This is soooo confusing.....

Westfield...... IF you are being sarcastic, not just joking around .....

Some of us don't know ANYTHING about the things you experienced guys know naturally...Don't make us feel TOO stupid for asking questions ok?

If you were just joking it was very funny!
