Completing a turn while purposly inducing oversteer on the car by loosing traction in the rear tires. (used to gain maximum speed entering and exiting a turn by aiming the centrifugal force of the car towards the inside of the turn)

I have seen "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift" and they show what drifting is in the movie. Drifting is apparently going really, really fast, so fast, in fact, that you burn up your tires and careen haphazardly into other cars and/or buildings and/or pedestrians, all in a puff of smoke!
lame girl: "I think drifting is so cool! It makes my tires smoke and then I crash into things!"
smart girl: "You must have a really boring life, dweeb."

Braking and rapidly accelerating your vehicle, usually in a ricer, to break grip and drift. People think that's cool. All it is is figure skating for cars. As worthless as burnouts, but not as entertaining
look at me! I'm drifting.
BAM
Slams into something very hard. Car is totaled, driver in critical condition.

Front-drive cars do drift; the rear wheels will break and swind around, but at that point you're at the mercy of the road. VW Beetles don't do it so well, not cause they don't have power, but all the weight's on the back.

carsport originated in Japan. The car must be a rice rocket, and the driver spins it sideways in entering curves.

"Beau pass the crack pipe I need a hit", said Luke
Beau passes the crack pipe to Luke, and Luke begins to take a hit.
While Luke is heating up the glass pipe, Roscoe pulls up behind and flips the lights. Beau immediately starts the Charger, punches it, and begins his drifting through Hazzard County cracked out of his mind. As the General Lee's entry speed is way to quick for the corners the back end steps out.

Complex Driving Technique used to take corners at fast speed. The driver must know how to used the clutch and gas pedal effectively and precisely while manipulating the brakes at the same time.
