Ok, so last weekend went to h3ll and a hand basket. And I can't make it up for the Clemson Car festival. So let's get a meet together for late April or early May. Anyone interested in making a road trip to Charleston?

Im in for a Charleston trip. My gals mother lives there so I got a place to stay (unless she's driving me nuts then i'll get a hotel room). We plan to get down there regardless of a meet so when we do i'll give you a shout. Maybe we can get together for a night out and drinks or something.

Wow you came out pretty good on that one. it could have been much worse. I had a similar situation. It was a long time ago. I don't know what I was thinking. Long story short....... I over corrected when trying to switch the side of the drift and spun into someone's front yard. Nothing major happened to the car I had at the time, just a little scraped up underneath. Scared me enough to where I won't try it on the street again. And I don't recommend anyone trying it without having tons of open space.

Lmao! Hope it wasn't in the Z. I've had a close encounter too. First time drifting the z with vdc off. Didn't pull the ebrake. Hit my head on the door side lol. 2nd time actually ripped the ebrake and it didn't do anything. Lol all good now.
