Went drifting again tonight and i got sideways... a little to sideways and then into a curb.



its kinda hard to tell but that is a hole in the side of the tire about the size of a penny. Im going to get new tires tomorrow, hopefully that is all the damage. I'm still not sure if I'll drift again or not, prolly not though, i got lucky this time but i may not be so lucky next time.

You still may want to check for bent suspension if you haven't already. When you get some tires I would recommend an alignment too. Watch out for curbs next time too.

Haha, that sucks. That's why you go to drift days, or auto-x and learn how to drive before you dare the curb jungle.

Hit up some track days or stay in wide open areas....

yeah, I learned my lesson. I had drifted there alot with no problems, but that time i just cut it to close and BAM right into the curb. I don't know where else to drift in my city though, there really isn't anywhere good

Great battle scar. I remember mine. I creased my drivers side rear quarter panel in a drift through a gas station parking lot. Good Game Boss keep up the good work.

when you get thrown from the horse all's you can do is give it a mean look, pace around it a few times...then get back on it and learn how to control it.

A "poll" is the number of votes recorded in a form of election or opinion.

A "pole" is a large metal rod, or a silly european.

Probably a good thing you're not trying to drift with a fizzucked alignment .

I'm sure I can find you some safer areas, lemme ask around and talk to my boy down south of the Pcrap Town and see what I can come up with.
