When I slid into the back of another car, I learned how unstable these things can me. There is a hill that I almost always drift on when its wet after a rain.

its not a drift but i jumped my 86 stock xj one time over the crest of a hill
and the tire marks showed that i jumped 62 feet. my buddy brought a 100ft tape measure when he brought me a spare because i blew out 2 tires when we landed. (i was 16 y/o at the time)
