A very useful tool in a front-wheel drive car. Allows the driver to slide around/drift when pulled at high enough speeds, and to keep the car in place when doing a burnout.
Dude 1: Dude, you can't drift this shit, it's FWD..
Dude 2: Yeah, but I can still e-brake around this corner!

A subgenre of metal music, considered by many to be the original extreme metal genre. It essentially began as a derivative of speed metal, played by bands like Motorhead and Overkill. Thrash metal took the high speed aspect of such bands, and added NWOBHM influenced melodies, and more progressive elements to the music.
Thrash metal's origins trace back to the early 1980's, and San Fransisco is considered the birthplace of most of the thrash greats. Thrash metal bands include Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Kreator, etc. It has proved to be very influential to almost every metal style that has come about since it's inception, and has experienced somewhat of a popularity revival in recent years.
