It's really not that hard, besides everyone knows that the FC can handle amazing and I would hardly worry about hitting other cars.



Any of you guys ever watch Initial D?



Well, thats what me and my friends basically do, we go out at night and find curvy roads and have drift battles so i'm pretty sure I know how to handle myself on the street well enough.

you said also that you almost hit the garbage men, then did a 6k drop in there faces. what is wrong with you?



Yes cops are gonna be dicks.. If you give them a reason. and you doing that in front of other people who may report your "ricer" car to the cops, and guess what, everyone in your area that has an import car will eventually pay the price for what you have started. Because you think that you can handle yourself well enough doesnt give you the right to endanger other people. I am a big fan of drifting, i drift, almost daily.. but never around other cars or other people. i live way in the woods and there is no traffic around me. I have been drifting for quite some time. I drift my 240 my fc and hopefully my ae86 that i will be picking up this weekend. but becuase i "think" that i can handle myself, even after years of practice doesnt mean that that new patch of gravel that washed out in the road during that last rain. Is going to let me belive that i am invinsible for long. and trust me, every once in a while i screw up. and my cars show it.
