Re: Screw Drifting
Maybe instead of screwing drifting, you should just screw your poor judgement?

I know how you feel, I totalled a few cars before too but its just part of the learning process. I dont have the luxury to go to a track or a dessert or anywhere empty and vacant to practice. Every inch of this city is populated and there isnt any place for hundreds of mile to practice without risk of totalling. dont blame your driving skill though and dont let anyone here bash you for it. we all have to learn everything in life, some lessons are way more expensive than others as you can see.
...............92 RX-7, damn thats a nice freaking car to F up!

Re: Screw Drifting

 Where do you live? If you're in a populated area, I bet I can find somewhere that you can take your car to play safely within 200 miles of you, unless you're somewhere that's a whole lot more remote than you claim to be. If you actually are from Miami, there's Homestead 40 miles south, Moroso 80 miles north, Sebring 170 miles NW, and Daytona 240 miles north, not to mention the throng of oval tracks that there are in South Florida.

yeah, morroso has a good track and a shit course, daytona is way off from me, and homestead is where I go. I wassnt complaining about not having anywhere to go, I said No where to go without risk of totalling. Homestead is very narrow, its no place for a bigginer.

Re: Screw Drifting
dude, i think you just THOUGHT you knew what you were doing. Drifting isnt as easy as you think it is. I bet your LSD isnt even tuned right. You probably hit the oversteer and then went to understeer mode. Just keep practicing, but u first need LSD.

Considering that you don't know how you ended up on your lid, I'll quote Ryan Newman in saying you just ran out of talent.
Screw incompetents bashing this great sport. Thread locked.
