Man you guys are retarded....

I(meaning myself) am getting angry @ all the "ignorant people" taking this thread so seriously, NOT the thread itself.

Don't try to twist my words...

people are too lazy to read and just assume or dont see a story and assume.

im still torn on drifting, i like it but i dont do it, i suck. but its a big sport overseas and is spreading and growing here. i dont see the point in trying to point it on the drifting community, especially when you dont know the story and realize that front wheel drives never have and never will be a true drift vehicle. period.

oh well sucks for him but all the remaining R's just jumped in value yet again.

see...i don't get it....how did the car spin and go backwards...i mean...what the hell...

i've hit many puddles in my fwd camry and none of them have nearly killed me. like on hwy 60 before the beaches going towards clearwater there are massive puddles. i alwaaays hit them at like 70 to spray water everywhere...the car may tug, buuuut let off the gas and turn the wheel a slight bit to the opposite direction....i mean...

he'd have to be florring it throught he whole puddle and then some..mabye...someone fill me in on how a FWD car can do that....i'm not understanding it

it just can, ive heard numerous cars, fwd, rwd, its just the way it loses control when hydroplaning.

im guessing whatever tire reconnects traction with the ground causes the vehicle to aim biased to what wheel starts pushing again (i.e. if whole car starts hydroplaning [and sometimes you dont know til its too late] and say the right rear gains traction, the rest of the car is still kinda 'floating' on the thin layer of water and its as if the car was being driven on ice using only the one corner of the vehicle).

i could be wrong, it might also have to do with people overcorrecting in a slight skid and etc i just rmember hydroplaning is when its riding on a layer of water and means you are not in control of the cars movement for those brief periods of time. i dont know if the aforementioned paragraph is true or not though thats just my semi-educated guess. i remember that if you can turn the steering wheel and your car doesnt turn, you're hydroplaning (or you got some sloppy loose broke ass steering)
