A lot of people don't understand what that means for handling dynamics, though.

Then again, a lot of people don't even know whether their car is front or rear wheel drive to begin with. Like when I saw a guy putting snow chains on the rear wheels of his Corolla...

Even worse if it was front wheel drive. Uncontrollable torque steer would occur and most likely you'll end up in a wreck. Lol

At least he'd be able to see where he was going. It's much easier for a newb to get himself killed in a RWD car in a situation like this. Lots of people don't understand the dynamic when you put together RWD, a loss of drive wheel traction, and a corner.

yea, I was informed to practice at an open space with no other cars, people, or obstacles, and I pulled a couple of runs.
It was worth a try and loved the feeling.
I will never attempt a try at a public road even if I become natural doing it.
