Personally think drifting is a waste of time and tires.

well put ..... let just hope no one jumps off a cliff.....

A power slide is when you take 1 corner witht he tires letting loose a drift is when you repeat that for 2 corners close together .....

If you only heard of it recently ......why is it jumping on the band wagon .....It is something new to North America na dit seems to to catching on ...don't hate because people are enjoying something they haven't heard of or seen before ...




My 2 cents

drifting is hard on the car.... my buddy was doing it way back like 4 years ago, but since he's moved onto touring. I did it for a little bit a couple of years back, but it's not that practical on the street cuz you really drive it on the very brink of control... put one foot wrong, and the results are disasterous.

The whole import scene evolved from people jumping on the bandwagon.

I think it is fun to watch, and it sure takes skills which is something I don't possess LOL
