Get the right wheels. You’ve found a snowy parking lot. Now you need a ride that can handle the snow. You’ll want a “rear-wheel drive with manual transmission, a few hundred horses under the hood, cheap tires, and a limited slip differential,” which keeps tires spinning at different speeds.
Ready and start. “Turn the steering wheel until it’s almost fully locked” to position the tires. With the clutch in, put the car in first gear and “hit the gas until you get up to about 3,500 rpm.”
