You CAN NOT drift a FWD car. CAN NOT! all your doing is over powering in a corner over steering what ever you want to call it. Drifting is only with power to the rear or all 4 tires

Im not gonna play this game by arguing with you. lol. Granted truly drifting the full sense of the word yes, you do need a vehicle with power to at least the rear wheels. But as far as fwd vehicles go... you can mimic a drift for a short distance through a tight or hairpin corner for example. But technically it's just a controlled slide where as a true drift with a rwd/awd can be maintained for much longer distances because of what wheels the power is delivered to. And is much nicer when the wasted tires are on someone else's dime.

Maybe, he'll wreck on I-75 or 285 and give me something to do when I come back to work.

Looked like a Euro plate on the back of goofball's car that crashed. He's damn lucky he didnt take someone else out with him. Looked like fairly steady traffic on that road in the video clip

you do not drift cars unless you are on a closed course. you also do not drift if you're 20 years old and driving the scion mom and pop bought you.
unless you have a crap load of money, drifting for the average joe is done on the weekends at gymkana meets with beat up old rear wheel drive cars. if you try to start doing this with your daily drive tC, you're stupid and retarded.
if you want to practice drifting, buy a beat up old miata and go to some gymkana meets. if you start trying to slide around a tC, you'll probably crash and hurt people, and much more likely yourself.
