I have had the cops called on me twice for 'drifting' in parkinglots. Gay people....



Never did get in trouble...

I'd check out the pavement beforehand. Huge pot holes could do some damage. And I wouldn't do it on cheesedick tires, either.

Make sure you tires are inflated a little more than normal so the tires don't bite down and just slide.

nah, I just forgot about this thread



I haven't got a chance to try yet, but now that the idea is back in my head, I'll have to start looking for a good spot.



Plus if I pop a tire, I'm screwed. Since I swapped to 5-lug, I don't have a spare tire.

All i'm gonna say is this. Take a turn at anything more than 25 and expect to be repairing your roof and windshields. Off ramps are 25 for a reason you know.

Speaking of careless and wreckless driving with control. lol I've always wanted to try to do doughnuts in my FD just to see how good I could do, but I've always been afraid of flipping while trying that too..
