Default So, I was able to get my car into a 4-wheel drift yesterday on my way home...

decided to stop at Home Depot for some much-needed supplies to take care of some "deferred maintenance" on the home, and this road leading to the entrace to the Depot is an oval rotary (under various stages of construction. Needless to say, 4 lanes quickly turn into 1 lane that I need to access the entrance. This guy decides that he is not sure where he is headed, so heis wandering from lane to lane, oblivious that any other cars are there on the same road (he almost drifted into the sideof my car at one point).

I decide that I am not going to get stuck behind this guy, and take my next opportunity to pass at WOT. Shortly after I pass, I have to take a left turn, and YEEHAAA...felt a bit of 4-wheel drift on that turn (LOTS of tire screeching)...dry roads...winter tires...interesting sensation...

I know...I do not typically drive like a maniac. I will save the rest of my "driving skill experiments" for the ACNA chapter event in May at NHIS.

Just thought I would share one of those "I love my car" moments. It was fun, and the car still felt like it was in control the whole time!

Default hmmm...I know that intersection, there's not a lot of room there. I'm guessing you put the 4.2 to

full use there?

Did the ESP kick in, or do you habitually shut that off when you get in the car like me?
