depends on what you're doing and at what speed really... I do snow drifting every year.. I consider it the safest way to f*ck around with drifting as well as the most fun. If you screw up, you could ruin a lot of shit. Gotta be careful with that.

I did it a few times on the street, put bald spots on my rear tires. I needed new ones anyway though. Other than that I don't think it did anything.

Why would you want to do that unless you are rallying?

I wanted new tires so I wanted to wear 'em down more.

Ya.. that makes sense. :eh:

There's no reason to be pulling your e-brake unless you're jacking around. There really is no point for a street car.

This subject seems like you're trying to validate doing something stupid... I'd steer clear of trying to slide around corners with your back brakes locked up. :nono:

I was in an empty parking lot. So personally I don't think it was stupid, just fun.

It's really a matter of respecting what you have. Did your mom & dad buy you the car or did you work for it? I wouldn't be out spinning my car around, ruining my tires and risking the destruction of my suspension on something I respect.

Next time, try revving your motor up to about 6000 RPMs and dropping the clutch with your e-brake on... that's fun too right?

I'm not trying to knock you man, but it really comes down to respect imo... :dunno:

I've paid for it since the day I got it. I only did it once anyway. And so far it's still running fine.

Not worth the risk to me... but that's jmo.
