For those who appreciate a good four-wheel drift!
I cut my driving teeth on front-wheel drive cars. Other than the odd time when heavy trail braking rotated the car a little farther than Ralph Nader ever felt was morally justified, I spent the better part of my youth trying not to go off the road front-end first. Sometimes I succeeded, sometimes I did not. As I grew older and gained experienced, I graduated to rear-wheel drive cars and began to spend my spare time trying not to exit corners backwards. Now that I have finally reached a stage in my life where I don't trust anyone under 30, believe the SUV is undermining the moral fabric of American society, and recognize that automobile insurance companies should charge me a lot of money for a policy, I have begun my quest for the perfect four-wheel drift.
This Web site is dedicated to that pursuit and to the tools that make it possible. If you find yourself at the wheel of an automobile that seemingly begs you to steer it around a corner using nothing but the throttle, then you are driving my kind of car.
