Drift Stories

Hey all, I know there is another topic that has turned into a story section somewhat...but I wanted to make a whole new thread, because I always have a good drifting story.

Drifting: Drifting refers to the difference in slip angle between the front and rear tires of a car. When the rear wheels are slipping at a greater angle than the front wheels, the car is drifting, or oversteering. The rear end of the car appears to chase the front end around a turn, while the front tires control the actual direction of the car. (Taken from an online dictionary)

Story #1:

I was driving around my little city (15,000 people), and was coming up on a turn. There was a car in the right lane, me in the left, and I was doing about 10KM's faster than she was. I gave it a little extra gas, and began my drift. I did the entire turn, about 140 ft, BESIDE the woman.....she WAS talking on her cell when I started, she was wide mouthed, and hung up her cell by the time I was done!

Story #2

We have all seen those freakin "Student Driver Training" vehicles, and they do annoy me, but I still think about what I was like when I was starting out driving. Anyways, it was raining, and that is when I drift, because if it isn't then I am just asking to hit something...I get more control in rain, then drifting on dry pavment. So a student driver was just turning from a stop sign infront of me, and I went next, I punched it, put it into a drift...well a controlled sideways slide really (Straight road), and went past the student vehicle....looking at the driver! With my bro as my witness, that student driver had a grin from one ear to the next...and I am sure the teacher took the opertunity to tell him that is something you NEVER do on the roadway, because you could get a ticket....

Those are two of my most recent ones...more will follow!

P.S. I have a temp registration, pay $175 CND a month, and you don't need a safety paper. When you get one, they don't give you plates, it a piece of paper that you put in the bottom right hand side of your windshield....so no one can get my plate numbers either...I will stop doing that when I get plates...lol. There is a downside to having a temp registration though....I get pulled over about 2 times a week for not having plates....never get a ticket though, because it's registered.
