Just to say it again, the rear end can break loose at the drop of a hat and in maneuvers that you do in your daily driver all the time. Until you know your car the first rule is never accelerate unless you're going in a straight line. Avoid downshift acceleration (like you'd do to pass) the rear wheels can break lose. Never downshift without a rev matching blip (hard to do with the accelelerator/brake layout), in other words brakes=slow, accelerator=go. Cold tires on cold pavement are a deadly combination.
