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

haha yeah, i have a cobra 9210... which i got for free. it sucks, completely.. but i'm getting the bel sti for christmas, hardwired and loaded =]. if you're thinking of getting a radar detector, get the escort x50, valentine, or rx65.. if you live in the states like virginia or washington get the sti.
yeah, i didn't know i could do it on a fwdrive also... something that happens by luck through complete utter surprise.
it's like those driving moments where you can predict the speed of the turn, but then you're wrong. haha =P

i checked my tires, they weren't that bad. yokohama sports tires for life =].
thank you people for your concern that i'm alive... i'm grateful that i'm alive too.

if you check here... you can check out my old totaled car =[. wouldn't want that to happen again.

but yeah, if you're all up for the drifting era, make sure you have good amts of money for tires... drifitng is probably the sport where you abuse your car the most.
and also, do it on the tracks, i hear it's 40 dollars to race for a few hours on the track. (depends)
