i cant lie. i am guilty.

just don't be an idiot about it and doing it in public places around other drivers please. (like what has been said in this thread)

i got the trophy truck stance going on now so its pretty easy to get the back end loose and keep it under control.

I'm a lil bit over 17.



But I only feel that way if I pick up something heavy, and also when I first wake up.

BTW, nice town you live in there. Been there a few times on my mountain bike. My car was parked at Washington's crossing.

I loved drifting my 94 ho 5spd cherokee when I had it. First time I did it I spun right around infront of my friends parents restraunt on the main street of the tiny little town i'm from all my buddys happened to be there at that time too I got phone call after phone call. They are so much fun to break the rear loose in.

Since my Grand is all time 4 that's about the only chance I get, as soon as I hit the paved road I push that skinny pedal to the floor and whip my steering wheel. Lexus's love it when I do that in front of them.

Not on purpose, really... honest, officer.

Hey, I'm 31, and it has been known to happen on occasion. Usually after it's rained, the white paint at intersections is very slick, you know?

One time getting on the highway with a dryer in the back. That was... unexpected. Bit of a drift and some lift-a-tire action.
