Another Drift Gone Wrong





When we where kids growing up, we couldn’t wait to hit the age of 16 so we could pick up our driver’s license and have the freedom of the open road. Now, if you want to admit it or not, we all did some pretty dumb things after we started driving; it might just be a learning process and the curiosity of getting a new car, but we all did it. While some are smart about it and go out into the country to do some donuts or a burn out with the family station wagon, others do it next door in the church parking lot with there parents’ Dodge Caliber.
Within the last ten years and the release of the Fast and Furiousmovies, drifting has become an intense sport for professionals as well as for some amateurs that like to drift unsafely on public roads and parking lots.
We came across a video over on YouTube.com that shows a couple teenagers that tried to drift and didn’t quite pull it off. In the video, a few kids tried drifting a Dodge Caliber while in a snow and ice-filled parking lot. After the first pass, the car didn’t have enough speed and made a 180 slide. The second pass would be a lot more eventful, as the car picked up speed, the driver turned the wheel and the car started to slide sideways. Suddenly, it hit a snow pile, flipping it on its roof, most likely totaling the car.
Just shows you leave it to the pros or at least do it with a high power muscle car. Man, I bet their parents where mad the grocery getter is wrecked.
