Scariest 45 minutes of my life, attempting to drive home from work.



Car wouldn't stay straight if my life depended on it...



...and I was driving my little beater, too.

key is to be very easy on the clutch and move 2 miles per hour and cause a major backup on the road you're on

lol, when i drove to 7-11, everytime i went to slip the clutch to move foward, just spun the tires...there was no traction ...my goal is to have a car like that, that does the same thing, but when dry

as i left work with less than a 1/4 tank, as i left the light before the gas station i drove about 50 ft at an angle(fake dorifto). car facing to the left while going straight. as soon as the tank was full it was better. it still was spinning too much to get into boost. and believe me i tried. i think i got it up 30 or 35.

i dont think it depends so much on slipping the clutch, its more responsive if u play with the throttle.

Used to do this all the time with the Camaro. Took me 2 minutes to go 50 feet across a parking lot once, at a good 45 degree angle because of the cross slope.
