Default Drift king I am not

I refuse to take pictures but I seriously should quit trying to drift. I am not very good at it and I royaly smacked up my porsche this morning. THought this entrance ramp would be a good place to do some drifting til I ran out of talent and smacked a dam light pole. It still drives fine and the suspension seems fine but I did hit hard. Still drives straight as an arrow. I had to pry the fender away from the tire though.

Well the car was going into the metal shop for new front fenders anyways. At least that's what I keep telling myself. But yeah I feel like a real dip **** about now. 2 cars down in 8 days. I am on a winning streak here!!!

Solstice should be ready for pickup on tuesday and I can get rid of the rental.

Anyways no more trying to drift for me. Stick with racing on the race track from now on I swear

Yeah picking it up tuesday.

Think I will keep it on the track from now on though. But the porsche was gonna get new fenders and paint in Febuary anyways. Still gonna be 2000 more I figure.

I'm to embarrased to tell the porsche club what I did. They would never let me hear the end of it HAHA

Oh man sorry but if you like it that's cool. I'm just not a big yellow person.

I was at the Buick/Pontiac dealership and contemplated test driving one but they guy I know wasn't there.

parking lots will never prepare you for the real world of high speed public road drifting action

The best part of drifting is when you people expletive your **** up on public roads.

That makes me smile.

Have you thought of using chalk/cones in a parking lot perhaps?
