drifting, scariest moment of my life Options

[yaamakoh]

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

I'm guessing you were at fifth gear an accidently downshifted to 3rd? or 4th gear to 2nd? you should've pumped the gas pedal lightly, it gives you better control on your turns while your hydroplaning. i'm surprised you didn't blow your engine! pretty fun, yes!
