BUT SO WORTH IT! never doing it again though.
i was late for church, i had my radar detector on, and i had to haul 30 miles in less than 15 minutes. it was pretty cold outside, so the roads were pretty slippery from the extreme cold. so, usually when i speed though that exit thats two huge circular turn my tires grip and i turn without barely burning out.. only a little bit. (it's two circular turns going right then another right). the first right turn in the exit went smooth, my tires gripping well, then the second turn (which is a good five seconds) made my car drift completely. might i add it's a tight one lane turn too. i downshifted my car which is normal, but little did i know i skipped a gear and gave a HUGE kick in my car (which is not pleasnt for sharp turns), and i started drifting tires burning out like no other on the right turn. you should've seen the smoke =P. I gassed my pedal because if i braked i would've crashed into the curve... and for a good five seconds i was maintaining a steady speed of 55mph... which to me is pretty insane, rpms flaring high in the 4.500s.
then the turn was over, i straightened out my car... then i turned to my friend and yelled.
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
he said it was fun... but i was scared for my life.
hey, at least i made it on time =]
i drive a 07 scion tc btw. camry engines for life <3

dude, you probably killed your tires. lol.

but that's pretty awesome. sounds scary, but drifting itself is pretty awesome.
lol, i'm glad you were on time for church.
