Did you pull the e-brake or something? Or put the rear wheels on trays?

I used to always do that in my Grand Am GT. It was much easier in that car though since the ebrake was the hand kind between the console and not a foot activated one. I don't really do stuff like that now that I have the SS. I wish I still had that car just for winter. It was actually very good in the snow and I didn't mint doing drifts and all sorts of crazy stuff in the snow with it.
