Yet another way to slide around in a fwd car is to apply the brakes
and accelerator at once.  This is a trick used by one of Sweden's
(and the world's) top rally drivers.  Obviously it's hell on the
brakes, but it can be used to bring your tail around in the same
manner a power skid does for a rwd car.  I've tried it a few times
and it does work.  To get out of the skid, release the brakes and
drive into the skid.  Best done in *big* icy parking lots than on
skinny country roads.
