A drift is a technique used where the inertia of the later motion of a low HP car is used to counteract the centripetal forces or a hairpin turn in order to maintain high speed with whipping around a corner, not useful in high power cars where a pwoerslide of simply a turn burn can be done. Often used by FWD vehicles mistakenly thinking that a whiparound is faster than a tight cutting turn, which it is not. This technique is terrible for the rear axles of a RWD vehicle, and even worse for a FWD vehicle. If you are doing this with an AWD vehicle, you are beggin to muss your diffs. Those who think drifting has anything to do with racing are incorrect, it is for show only.
Rather than getting a fast car, I just e-brake drift and never let off the gas....I sir am not smart.

Get the Drifter mug.Noun: Similar to Crop Dusting, a Tokyo Drift is the act of farting and then walking away causing the smell to drift past others. In this case, the smell of the fart is nearly the same as asian cuisine.

Get the Prole Drift mug.An advanced driving technique used mainly for show in which the driver maintains oversteer through balance of throttle and steering inputs. there several ways to execute this manuver, from using the e-brake to send thet car into a controlled slide to using the cars own inertia to keep one moving foward in direction while power sliding.
