That letter was funny but I wouldn't agree with some things in it.

$6 per gallon of gasoline is crazy =p. I like July 4th cause of the fireworks.
I'd agree with american football and baseball. I wouldn't mind if american cars would be banned, because they really are crap. Driving on the left side and roundabouts instead of intersections would be bad. =p YAY!

Funny letter anyways. John Cleese is the best comedy actor.

Well actually, it raises a good point, because no matter what any country calls something, they mean exactly the same thing.

For example, Americans=Refrigerator, Aussies=Eskie, New Zealand=Chillybins (Don't ask me why).

Huh? I call an esky an esky and a fridge a fridge

They're two different things.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 09 Oct 2007, 15:35

Perhaps I was meant to mean portable fridge. Darn it, I've confused myself.

The first car I ever drove was my brother's 1984 Nissan 720ST Longbed Pickup Truck... I was 14 when I first drove it. The first car I owned personally was a 1990 Mazda 626... 2.2L SOHC 12-valve with 100hp. That thing was torquey, and I made it drift!!!

A guy I worked with had an old VW Golf that really did drift, even with four guys in the car.

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 24 Oct 2007, 00:09

According to Wikipedia, there are no RWD Golfs. There are, however, 4WD, though I don't know if you can drift in a 4WD car.

to drift a 4wd u need to do a transaxle swap and u actually can drift a FWD in the very first D1 excebition at willow springs a CRX beat a supra in drifting

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 24 Oct 2007, 02:06

It depends on what your definition of a drift is. To ''drift'' a fwd car, you'll need to lock up your rear wheels, thus your slide is controlled and maintained differently. I don't see that as proper drifting though. If it is, pretty much every car going sideways is drifting.

Maverick2K4 · Post by **Maverick2K4** » 24 Oct 2007, 08:15

It was a drift, I swear by it. I was in a parking lot, yes, the road was a bit wet. I was going around a 90-degree corner, slammed the brakes and pulled the e-brake, locking up ALL wheels, got the rear-end around and counter-steered to control it. Own that, xHazMatx. It was my ride, I was the driver who got the rear-end around and controlled it with a counter-steer. I know FWD can't drift like a pro. But with the right conditions, you can make them drift.

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 24 Oct 2007, 10:15

Wet is the keyword there.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 25 Oct 2007, 00:38

Quite true.

Sorry, you're still owned.

If it was on DRY ground in a parking lot you wouldn't be able to drift a FWD, you'd end up slamming into a wall from the understeer.

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 25 Oct 2007, 01:38

Not if you lock up the rear wheels.

But then again, is that a drift?

steelsnake00 · Post by **steelsnake00** » 25 Oct 2007, 21:54

Sliding and drift are completely different. An FWD car cannot hold a sustained, controlled slide just through use of steering and acceleration without being on an extremely wet or icy surface.

Slide yes, drift no.

my very 1st car to drive was an VW Passat MK2 variant, my dad's car.

Slide yes, drift no.

That goes for AWD too. FWD cars, particularly Golfs are very good at lift-off oversteer, but again thats a slide and not a drift. Oh, and if your handbrake locks up all four wheels, Id get that thing checked.

Well I finally got my Class 7 GDL License. Today, I got to drive my dad's 1993 Buick Regal around the crescent a few times, and it's quite the bulky machine

But it does have a lot of power

Glopaticki · Post by **Glopaticki** » 29 Oct 2007, 05:40

Wat does Class 7 GDL mean?

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 30 Oct 2007, 00:16

It just means that I have a "Learner's Operating License" which is the first license anyone in Alberta gets where they are allowed to drive cars as long as someone with a full Class 5 License is sitting next to them.

Glopaticki · Post by **Glopaticki** » 30 Oct 2007, 09:26

Oh ok so its like Learners License here in Aus, good thing i have my provisional license and can drive by my lonesome.....which is prooving quite difficult without a car.

That's pretty decent for your first car you own. Are you considering putting a rally bodykit on it?

If not, you should, as it would really make your car look sweet.
