it cant really be that bad for your car, tires and brakes may not like it but whatever. those are wear items anyway.

there is this very cool video from a famous driver Tiff Needell showing the viewer how to do some cool(and potential lifesaving) tricks using a FWD car and the E-brake.


here is a google video link, its the whole movie but you can fast forward to the FWD part:

watch the above video to understand the proper way to use the ebrake while driving

"drifting" never really is a good idea but if your posting because your worried about damaging something dont worry too much. I used to "drift" my last tc alot. Raining out in a near empty parking lot at 1 in the morning and 180ing into a parking space. Just dont do it if people are around. If your having trouble finding a place, behind supermarkets at the whee hours of the morning can be a good place. But cops come quick and rightfully so.
