it's my D in a B
Here's how to learn how to drift.
1. Buy a rusted out, primered '78 RX7 for $125
2. Find a very, very large empty dirt parking lot
3. Practice for several years (be prepared to pull your car out of ditches, from around trees etc.
4. Keep it off the streets, I don't want you to knock down my mailbox
but seriously, its really fun, just don't ever do it around anything/anyone else. Start on dirt/gravel, then try wet pavement. Its hard to do dry pavement without a good rear/4 wheel drive car.
Never do it on a road.

Drifting is not the fastest way around a corner with pavement. Plus I don't want to be responsible for anything that happens to you if you try this on the street or parking lot.
Go attend a Rally cross than.

Closing. Drifting (not in a competition environment) is just not cool. Don't get yourself killed.
