OMG, that really sucks man, I'm sorry. I've always wanted to learn and try drifting but that's exactly what I've been scared I'd do. Again sorry, but other than the damage how'd you do at the event?

This is why I'm looking for a beater to learn drifting in. Or a big open parking lot or such. But a beater would be preferable, because if I kiss a wall, I shrug, duct tape pieces back on, and continue.

In the winter time here there is an ice track that is 3.1 miles long.
Best way to learn to drift... and the cheapest.
Tires last ALOT longer and when you hit the "walls" they are just snowpiles.
I've only driven my 85 there though...

Damn man, that sucks. It's how you learn though, experience. Hope you get her back together straight.
I'm not directing this at you, nor am I trying to be insensitive. But I just don't comprehend the thrill of the whole drifting craze. Rims and body panels aren't cheap, and the ratio of damage incurred during attempted drifts to damage incurred in drag or road racing is probably quite high. Why you'd go out and get involved with something that has such a high probability of hurting your car. In my mind, it'd be like taking my convertible that I've worked so hard on, out railroad track jumping or something...you KNOW something's gonna get screwed up.
Like you said, it's your car, you can do what you want...I can't figure that out, though.

i haven't tried it, but i imagine its the mere thrill of driving like a maniac (but in control if you're above amateur). if there's one thing i'd love to do, it'd drive *****-out. driving ***** out would include breaking the rear tires lose in a turn. it seems fun, but like i've said, i haven't tried. i live in city suburbs, and there doesnt seem to be too many safe, legal places. some people actually care about their driving record (or just cant afford tickets
).
).
WHO WAS IT A WHILE BACK THAT SAID PEOPLE DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR AES!!!!!!!!!!
Hah, consider the AE police here. Nah, like you said it's your car, do with as you please. It's my choice if I garage mine every night and read it a bed time story.
