Ah to be young and stupid, which was when i was around your age when I did that, I learned my lesson, just as you did with those injectors eh? oh and another good street to do that is in absecon on a turn that goes downhill witha pole there, right bubba? so lets not compare scars here.

when you drift out of the school parking lot, do you mean you pull out of there and get sideways?
I consider that getting sideways out of a parking lot lol. drifting is like doing really wide donuts, or just sliding all the way around a turn, like this- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTX7cUsHVHE

yea, anyone can get a car sideways and straighten it out, drifting is a lil bit more involved....
watch The Fast and the Furious - Tokyo Drift...it is a a$$ load harder to do then it looks man. u dont just smash the gas peddel down and take corners...

don't you not have your full license yet? and your asking people where you can go driving around turns at a excess speed to put the car on the very limits of its handling abilties?????

if your looking for a way to teach yourself to drify, I went to borders last night and seen a book on how to drift, gives you diagrams and everything, its in the sports section near the end where all the race car books are if your intrested, I was gonna buy it, but bought the book Shelby GT40 instead, pretty good info and pics on Carroll's involvement in the fight against Ferrari and Ford.
