    Slow, smooth inputs no matter what. Too much throttle too fast and you get wheelspin; too much brakes too fast and you lock up/hit ABS which you may or may not want, steering input too fast and nothing happens. Your best bet if you encounter any snow, is try to find a parking lot near wherever you may be and give yourself a crash course (no pun intended) on how a car feels in snow.

    OT: Where in Chicago are you going to be?

    How bad is it that I'll be on all seasons?

    Drive fast, aggressively, and make deliberately quick moves (i.e. floor the throttle and brake hard, tail gate, do e-brake turns, etc)

    Drive slow, defensively, and make deliberate slow moves (i.e. easy coming on and off the throttle, leave tons of stopping distance, turn wide, etc)

    Tips on driving in the snow?

    I'm driving my newly purchased e30 from chicago to texas over the next couple of days. I'm going to have to deal with some snow on the way.

    I've seen snow 3 times in my life and have never driven in it. Hell, I've never seen it stick to the street.

    Any quick tips? I know I need to give myself tons of room to brake, but what else?
