So I know there are alot of young drivers on this forum, and the bad drivers thread got me thinking.

How many of you do/ have drifted, e-braked, etc?

I was watching tv yesterday with the gf, and someone was spinning around in reverse, then did an ebrake, and thought it was the most amazing thing ever.
I thought it was kind of funny, cause thats really normal for me, but she said she had never done anything like that, nor anyone she knew. So I was pretty surprised. Most my friends and I can, and (when safe) do so as well.


How bout you, do you , dont you, etc...I think you get the point....

I like my tires. I prefer not to burn them down too quickly.

I think one of the main reasons was that she felt there were to many people around, and wouldnt want to drift into someone?

It's not that bad. Heck, if you slam on the brakes, most the black you see on the road is the road itself, not rubber.

My e-brake doesn't work.

Fish-tailing, burning out are pretty much what I'm limited to.

I have fish-tailed 540* going into on-ramps due to slick asphalt, but not on purpose.

I'm not sure what ebraking is, but I am all over donuts and powerslides - in the snow.

Come snowtime, it's funtime.  Frontwheel drive gives you excellent backwards donuts, rearwheel drive lets you Hazzard around every turn.  Handbrakes are teh kewl, especially on frontwheel drive cars.

Fun, fun, fun.  And the occasional call for help to get out of a ditch.

:D

I'm guessing these two are one and the same.

And yes... lots of fun. It's been a while since I've done any of that.

I treate my vehicles so poorly in the winter.


In the summer with my Small Dodge Dakota, I'll drop clutch and burn quite often, as well as fish tailing. No E-Brake on the thing though... in the winter I fish tail and donut all the time, as well as in sand.


My old 1980 woody caravan used to have front wheel drive, in the winter i'd reverse 180 that beast out of parking lots and such. Every one found it quite ammusing to see the old rust bucket "perform".

When I was 16, I blew out the drivers side front tire of it whilst doing a reverse donut, in the mall parking lot, at midnight, With eight kids in it. All of which I coached our "Story" to right before I called my dad for the triple A card.

good times.

Uh yeah, thats really not a good idea.


My friend would always use his e-brake to "drift" and totally ended up destroying his brakes.

DO you guys still have all the lame rules?

Yup.

does snow and parking lots in a truck count?  if not, then all i really do is slide a bit around corners and spin the tires in my focus.

I've been looking into it, and sounds like the only main hazard is stretching your ebrake cable..which is easy to adjust, etc. If you constantly do it on hot, dry pavement, you might do some damage to the tires, but its easy to avoid.
