Tire explosions can be VERY dangerous, my brother lost his best friend due to a tire exploding in his face when they were overpumping it to go drifting, he literally died in my brothers arms. This stuff is no joke, it’s scary stuff, even tho all parties involved were super experienced someone still lost a life, please be careful out there.
That 60+ PSI comment from one of them spooked me. Most tires I've seen have 40-50PSI max written on them (and yes, I get that there's a safety margin built in to that number.) I've never gone drifting, I dunno if 50+ PSI is normal for everyone in that scene, but there's no way in hell I'd ever personally fill a tire that far, even brand new. Exploding tires are spooky, yo. Imagine your hands and face next to that truck doing a burnout. Hell. No.
@@ecardecardian7839I straight up had a tire explode like 8 feet from me because someone overinflated their tires and then parked the car on hot asphalt in like 110° weather.
Drifting a box truck is actually pretty easy in the snow, especially if the back is empty. They tend to have loads of torque, long wheelbases, crazy steering angles, and with the box empty they're usually front-heavy to boot. Tons of fun.
Reminds me of my 80’s turbo diesel Mercedes. Huge lump of iron locking in the front, tons of steering angle, decent torque and the relatively long wheel base makes the rotation super predictable. Drove like a tractor but would hold a slide in the snow like a champ.
Haha the newer Uhaul ford trucks allow you to turn off traction control. They're relatively high torque and can get pretty fun on gravel roads. Put the transmission into tow mode, turn off traction control, let 'er rip on the corners. So much fun.
The 'you'll go where your eyes look' advice is legit. That's how I was taught to land when I first started flying. Pick a spot, adjust your glide path, then pay attention to the end of the runway rather than that particular spot. It prevents you from over- or under-shooting. Just let physics do the heavy lifting, cause you can't change physics no matter how hard you try :P
Same for driving in close quarters/through narrow gaps. If you know you can fit, then look at the center. Also why "rubber-necking" is dangerous on the highway. If you stare at the objects on the shoulder, you're going to get closer to them. Applies to marching and mowing the lawn too! Pick a fixed object in the distance and focus on it.
12:44 I started learning how to drive a car right around the same time I discovered Initial D. I became obsessed with being able to shift up and down in any situation as quick and smooth as possible so I used to tear around my grandparents property in my old 62 bug bombing up and down the hills and heel toe shifting it every time I had to slow down lol. I got to the point where I was shifting it up and down without a clutch after I realized that it should be possible as long as you match your revs. Was really fun doing it with no tach so I got really good at just using my ears to find the match points. Ended up being a really good thing to learn because it turns out I'm really good at shifting and heel toe down shifts now. Shifting with no clutch is a fun party trick but also really useful when you have a clutch slave or master fail on you or a cable snaps. I also ended up getting really good at finding the braking limit of the cars I drive since most of the cars I had, were old enough that they didn't have ABS.
That almost totaled my daily video is super suspicious. He's going way too fast to suddenly stop like that and the camera pans just enough that the car is out of frame.
100 fake he should have hit the front at that speed with that much standing water. you dont just stop one a dime with that much standing water going sideways.
@EllsworthTheGreat December 24, 2017. I remember the date only because I took a picture of tge car after dropping them off, and I just checked the date. It was the corner of SW Cascade Ave and Highway 210 in Beaverton, OR. The family was going to the Benihana right there, and there was about an inch of snow. We hadn't gotten the winter tires on the cars yet, so it was just on Michelin Defenders. I overhead their conversation and it sounded like they were gear heads, so I gave it a little bit of slip on the exit.
Could we add to the list of future videos, Stunt Drivers React? And have them review both famous car scenes from movies as well as recordings of stunt shows at like fair grounds? I don't know any off hand but would love to see a montage of those and the reactions from stunt drivers.

1:55 that happened to Dale Earnhardt Jr during a caution in the 2016 GEICO 500. He grabbed the post to keep from crashing til he could get the steering wheel back on. There’s a video with interview on NASCARs UA-cam channel.

Heel/toe has many variations, the one demonstrated here is the american variation, japanese actually use heel on gas, toe on brake. If you daily a manual, heel/toe is a must learn. Not only is it super fun, it is a HUGE advantage you have in an emergency situation. You can brake harder and hit lower gears for braking assist without burning the clutch, and it's also useful when you need you immediately use the power band. Good show fellas. Loving this new stuff
3:15 "always the lug nuts"... I'm not a drifter. Mine loosened by just going through a car wash recently. It was a hot day (100+ F), I had to wait my turn in the hot sun, finally go through the car wash (cold water) , and within about 2 miles I heard this clunk clunk clunk coming from one of the wheels, same speed as the wheel rotation. It was the lug nuts. At least one or two had loosened on all four wheels. That's why I always carry a torque wrench in the trunk.
I totally did the tray thing in my 99 Eclipse. Only problem is the plastic trays were gone after a few spins so my rear tires eventually had flat spots because I didn't let my e brake down. I was burning the front tires making smoke as my headlights spun around and around. One of the dumbest things I did to a car. Although I did try a 3rd gear break stand in that car later and the clutch shattered and ripped through the transmission and even made some dents in my hood. Fun times
I had the same experience in my 03 civic. So we ended up going to home Depot and gluing sheets of metal to the bottom of the trays. The trays ended up melting, but we got a lot more time in than with just the trts alone.
I remember I used to do all the wheel changes to prep my dads drag car when I was a kid (we flat towed it for many years so we would swap from streets to slicks at the track) and I would ALWAYS triple check every lug nut after swapping them because I was always paranoid I'd leave one loose. Never had an incident, but that's cause of my paranoia lol
@@CorvusCorone68 Thats my logic with safety checks like lug nut torque. Just cause Ive never left one loose doesnt mean I wont eventually. So triple check every lug every time just to be sure
0:40 - Very true! If you're cutting extremely close to anything at speed, the most important rule: Don't look to check how close you are. You will hit it. Don't give in to the temptation!
I've learned more about driving in snow from finding a safe place to FAFO, then you could ever get from a driver's ed course. You do it often enough and you could call yourself a pro if you got paid. Do it enough and the steering moves are automatic. Great videos. Of course I'm 55 and have always lived in the northeast so I've had a shit ton of practice in snow, and mud.
You never realize how much your feet suck at being gentle until you try using your other foot on the clutch or your left foot on the brake. Mad props to that Polish drifter, dude got the skills!
Another driver (Rallycross not drifting) that had an injury that caused paralyzing from the waist down is Mats Öhman, drives his Audi S1 like a maniac on track still with a fully hand/arm adapted throttle, breaking and clutch. Dude never let his snowmobbile accident stop him!

Yes. In the snow you can drift a box truck... 😻 I did it a few times while delivering furniture in a 30' box International. Seriously though, it was all about safety and on empty roads. One needs to know how a vehicle will behave in slick conditions so that you aren't finding out in traffic or in town.😇 I also always test braking on icy and snowy roads so I know how much grip I have and if the vehicle will pull to a side... Safety can be fun! 😸
Heel-Toe is probably one of my favorite techniques that I've learned over the years. Definitely made easier with a good pedal setup. If the pedals don't align well for it, heel-toe downshifting becomes significantly more difficult.
I wish this video was twice as long and they brought in the mechanics from the other videos to talk about what got damaged on the vehicle after the failed attempt at drifting, I can't get enough of those.
@ 12:00 I used to do that in my 07 Honda Fit sport all the time😂 one of the most fun whips I ever had I used to whip that lil car around like go-cart. Amazing chassis and manual paddle shifters
I drifted a box truck before on ice. And when that rear end kicks out it's like a first try commitment oh, you better have had that angle correct because there is no correction to be made
I love the first comment, the way you look is the way it goes. Riding a motorbike or even a bmx prooves it. Our bodies follow our minds and this extends to the machine that we ride on. We have built in giroscope in our asses :D
It's one thing I was taught when I learned stuff for my driving licence : if you get in a dangerous situation, don't stay fixated onthe obstacle but on where you wanna go, because your brain will steer your car toward what you are precisely trying to avoid.
I rolled my car on its side in a snow pile once on an icy road and it was completely undamaged. (Tow truck just flipped it over and I drove away.) It was definitely kind of fun considering nothing bad really happened.
Snow is an absolute blast if you approach it properly. There's nothing wrong with purposefully breaking traction, sliding, locking up your brakes, etc. I recommend it for folks I can tell are scared to drive in snow. If you don't know the car's limits you can't react properly when something goes wrong. Also, big tip is to turn off traction control in the snow and learn to control your tire slippage. If your vehicle has snow specific traction control it might work pretty well, but a lot of modern traction control is absolute trash in the snow. I live in Oregon and when snow hits the low level areas people have no idea how to drive in it which is kind of frustrating because it really isn't that hard.
@@CRneu Agreed, the first thing I did when I got both of my cars is figured out how to control a slide in the snow with them. Not only is it a lot of fun but you learn how to control it when you get into an unintended slide
Truck on the vid is from russia its called gaz gazelle and is based on gaz 3110 volga which is son of volga 21 which is based on ford falcon - the more you know. And jz swap for fast reliable deliveries is pretty common here in russia especially in city of Vladivostok area
Love seeing the e36 get so much love. My little E36 may not have been the fastest car I’ve ever owned, but damn if it wasn’t the most fun car I’ve ever owned.
Sure, I'll play your little Oahu game, so long as you have the Island Tour race from Test Drive Unlimited. If not, looks like I'll have to build that wonderful 4 - 6.5 hour race, for the best in car culture.
idk about anyone else but over the last few months i've literally watched every single donut video available on youtube, and i especially love these real mechanic stuff videos. These videos are the best thing on youtube hands down. i just got so hype to watch this new video. keep them coming guys! literally my favorite.
Using the wrong taper angle on a lugnut or spherical vs conical or wrong thread pitch can be a problem on any car. If drifting or driving on a track I would make damn sure the wheel contact surfaces were spotless, use the star pattern tightening sequence, and three steps to final torque value. Likely they forgot to torque them or had not checked in weeks.
0:38 Wherever you look is where you going to go.. These words are the most important thing to truly understand. Did all the kids stuff like inline, halfpipe, bmx, downhill, to when I did the young adult stuff like car license, then my bike license, motor cross, etc. Your body and muscle memory will follow visual input, especially in high stress situations.. Learn to look AWAY from where it could go wrong!
Even if you daily drive a manual, you should learn heel-toe downshifting! It's useful for small decelerations when you don't want to upset the car too much for your passengers and still be in the right gear to keep going. It's always better to have more control on your RPM even if you're not drifting/racing and it's not that hard if your pedals are close.
Dude in the snow reminds me of me at 17. Snowed about 1.5in were I was living and my buddy and I took my 91 Talon TSI to this industrial road that was basically a large S-curve. Got on it, got sideways, over corrected, and hit the ditch. He laughed the whole way.
I worked at a tire store back in the 90s. Two ladies came in and said the tires shake about 90 on the highway. I looked at them and all four had 95 PSI 😂. I think it was a ford Taurus or something like that. Also had two guys wanting to put a 15 inch tire on a 14 inch rim🤷🤷 their friend said it will fit😂😂
When the kid almost hit the wall. The same thing happened to me in the snow on the highway. And I was inches from the wall. Went over 4 lanes spinning in circles. Because i was following a truck in blizzard snow. The highway opened up with extra lanes and the truck brust through the snow and i thought he cleared enough for me and the snow got caught under my undercarriage and the car just started spinning straight for the wall to the left of me. It was about 1am. at night. Thank god nobody was really out. And my wife was in the car. She didn't scream or say a word. After i straightened the car , I got us moving in the right direction again. I said, " You weren't scared." She stated Ultra calmy, and i quote. "I knew you had it." Well, thanks for having more faith in me than me. I'm still married to that woman to this day. 😂
When it would snow back in high school, my buddies and I would go out to a big church on the edge of town and make a “rally course” in the giant parking lot and race sorta side by side in my Audi Coupe GT, friends civic and other A4 Quattro, we did a fair amount of light bumps and lots of slides. We all had S10 or Ranger as first vehicle so we all had some skill w RWDs. Miss those days
There are three vehicles that I have drifted on snowy or icy roads one of them was a 92 Oldsmobile station wagon, and 88 F-350 one-ton and a 06 International Class 8 commercial truck.
The last one i did with an S-10 on snow, a tree was within an inch of the fender. The wheel was turned into the slide and was actually sticking out past the tree. It was badass.
In that box truck drift video the lead car appears to be a Soviet-era Lada (those were RWD too). IIRC it was filmed in my country, and this was set up, with both drivers being actual local drift drivers.
I have a 2003 for focus and I love drifting it in the mountains when it's snowing. Just hold the ebreak and throttle control turning inword instead of counter steering. Fwd drifting aka ass dragging lol. I'm saving up for a rwd v8 kit for it.
As someone who has a "friend" who has drifted dually delivery vehicles (v10 ford) its a blast, especially if your working nights in the winter and there is nobody in the wide open parking lots. Tandem axle semis on ice are also interesting to drift but far scarier since your vehicle is 30' long 😂
I used to slide my 02 beetle in the winter, it was front wheel drive but I was able to weight transfer it into a really clean slide. I have a 2020 toyota 86 now so I can get a little sideways on dry pavement.
Uh. Yeah. if your steering wheel pops off the hub while you're driving, put the wheel back against the hub. It won't work 100% of the time, but it's a lot better than trying to use your hands. Had this happen before right before a corner in the canyons. Scary, but I just shoved the wheel back against the hub, and had JUST enough steering to slow my car and turn it, and bring it safely to a stop. You should always thoroughly inspect your car, steering wheel included before driving if you have a wheel like this. Also, yes, as they said, ALWAYS RE-TORQUE YOUR LUGS BETWEEN RUNS!
I moved out of the snow and into rain, But I do miss sliding in the snow feeling like a rally car driver on back roads on the way to work, first car I ever slide around was a ford Econoline literally staring out the drivers window going around turns XD good times, now it tree weaving in my backyard.
8:44 fax. i have this corner by my house that i took carefully and almost wrecked and one day i decited to frfr commit to it and not let off gas and i nailed it
fun fact at 10:43 : on an open diff the wheel that slips is going double the speed of what the dash says. Ex: one wheel peel with the speedo at 40, actually going at 80
Another fun way to drift that I've seen is used in the Kei car scene in Japan. They use a short section of large PVC pipe slid onto the rear tyres to cover the treads. These tiny little front wheel drive cars have up to a 660cc engine, 63 horsepower and are flat out at 60mph so are ridiculously under powered. The bit of pipe on the rear tyres means you have plenty of grip on the front drive wheels and zero grip at the back. Throw the car around a curve and the rear end steps out. There you have it, a drift car!
That box truck drifting reminded me of when my bus driver in high school drifted the bus... like, properly. 45 degree sweep of the road going around turns particularly in the wintertime. Country things I guess?
I remember seeing a video of someone trying to drift around an elevating hairpin turn (going from bottom to top, left turn). They *did* make the drift, but didn't stay on the road. They managed to roll their car over, back to where they started.
On lug nuts: I've had terrible luck. After my first experience where they started to get loose I always DOUBLE CHECK WITH A TORQUE WRENCH. And yet...twice more I've had them come loose. A friend told me to use anti-seize on the studs and so far that has seemed to work better, but I thought dry was standard???
Tire explosions can be VERY dangerous, my brother lost his best friend due to a tire exploding in his face when they were overpumping it to go drifting, he literally died in my brothers arms. This stuff is no joke, it’s scary stuff, even tho all parties involved were super experienced someone still lost a life, please be careful out there.

I wish this video was twice as long and they brought in the mechanics from the other videos to talk about what got damaged on the vehicle after the failed attempt at drifting, I can't get enough of those.
Shout out to Rob Parsons! Grew up with the guy. 1 of the most inspiring men I've ever known.
You made donut buddy!
@ 12:00 I used to do that in my 07 Honda Fit sport all the time😂 one of the most fun whips I ever had I used to whip that lil car around like go-cart. Amazing chassis and manual paddle shifters
This video is great. Need a part 2
I drifted a box truck before on ice. And when that rear end kicks out it's like a first try commitment oh, you better have had that angle correct because there is no correction to be made
I love the first comment, the way you look is the way it goes. Riding a motorbike or even a bmx prooves it. Our bodies follow our minds and this extends to the machine that we ride on. We have built in giroscope in our asses :D
First thing i learned snowboarding. The board follows your eyes/head and it’s definitely true
It's one thing I was taught when I learned stuff for my driving licence : if you get in a dangerous situation, don't stay fixated onthe obstacle but on where you wanna go, because your brain will steer your car toward what you are precisely trying to avoid.
If you've ever skiing or snowboarding you already have this skill and you don't even realize it
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in forever! So much good!
We used to drift in the snow with a Dodge Omni front wheel drive BUT we drove backwards ... WAAAAAAAAA!!!! Go GEN X
I heel toe daily on my car. I believe its the only way to properly down shift when stopping or slowing to continue
As a Canadian, driving in snow can be real fun if you know what you're doing
I rolled my car on its side in a snow pile once on an icy road and it was completely undamaged. (Tow truck just flipped it over and I drove away.) It was definitely kind of fun considering nothing bad really happened.
Snow is an absolute blast if you approach it properly. There's nothing wrong with purposefully breaking traction, sliding, locking up your brakes, etc. I recommend it for folks I can tell are scared to drive in snow. If you don't know the car's limits you can't react properly when something goes wrong. Also, big tip is to turn off traction control in the snow and learn to control your tire slippage. If your vehicle has snow specific traction control it might work pretty well, but a lot of modern traction control is absolute trash in the snow. I live in Oregon and when snow hits the low level areas people have no idea how to drive in it which is kind of frustrating because it really isn't that hard.
@@CRneu Agreed, the first thing I did when I got both of my cars is figured out how to control a slide in the snow with them. Not only is it a lot of fun but you learn how to control it when you get into an unintended slide
I get so happy when I see a new video on this channel! Thank you! Ive watched them all twice at least.
My generation first learned heel-toe pedalwork as kids because it was featured in an episode of Speed Racer. True story.
I’ve had threads strip off on my rear axle in the mountains wheel went bouncing. Wasn’t drifting but still same problem
Truck on the vid is from russia its called gaz gazelle and is based on gaz 3110 volga which is son of volga 21 which is based on ford falcon - the more you know. And jz swap for fast reliable deliveries is pretty common here in russia especially in city of Vladivostok area
Love seeing the e36 get so much love. My little E36 may not have been the fastest car I’ve ever owned, but damn if it wasn’t the most fun car I’ve ever owned.
The way the first tire ended up was too perfect
Literally, saved him from more damage
@@garrettspivey gotta send this vid to my buddy from highschool he did the same thing in his 98 accord. His tires did not save him from more damage 😂😂
Sure, I'll play your little Oahu game, so long as you have the Island Tour race from Test Drive Unlimited.
If not, looks like I'll have to build that wonderful 4 - 6.5 hour race, for the best in car culture.
Adam drifting the boys in a box truck for the next video please!
Yeah rob “chairslayer” Parsons is an absolute monster in his 180sx
idk about anyone else but over the last few months i've literally watched every single donut video available on youtube, and i especially love these real mechanic stuff videos. These videos are the best thing on youtube hands down. i just got so hype to watch this new video. keep them coming guys! literally my favorite.
The best days are when we get Sandro on a mechanics react video.
I've done it over the last several years lol
Can't stand these annoying ass millennials.
The Demamp almost dying clip is my favourite and it doesn't get enough recognition, I love you guys
Would love to see more track react videos!
5:27 and THAT's how you know that wheel was OG. If it was a replica the whole thing would have just grenaded
0:50 he's 100%spot on correct! Plus, the road looks wet so that requires a little more throttle skill than you'd expect as well.
I have been waiting for this one for so long! Awesome
2:25 happened to Dale Earnhardt at 180mph. He somehow managed to get the wheel back on without wrecking.
He wasn't midway in a drift
This happens more than you might think. Drifting would be the worst time for it to happen by far.
@@jackcampbell6779 I'd rather lose my steering wheel at drifting speeds any day!
@@Sam590ss I guess the speed is better but not in a slide😂
Using the wrong taper angle on a lugnut or spherical vs conical or wrong thread pitch can be a problem on any car. If drifting or driving on a track I would make damn sure the wheel contact surfaces were spotless, use the star pattern tightening sequence, and three steps to final torque value. Likely they forgot to torque them or had not checked in weeks.
WE NEED MORE PRO DRIFTERS REACT
0:38 Wherever you look is where you going to go.. These words are the most important thing to truly understand.
Did all the kids stuff like inline, halfpipe, bmx, downhill, to when I did the young adult stuff like car license, then my bike license, motor cross, etc.
Your body and muscle memory will follow visual input, especially in high stress situations.. Learn to look AWAY from where it could go wrong!
Even if you daily drive a manual, you should learn heel-toe downshifting! It's useful for small decelerations when you don't want to upset the car too much for your passengers and still be in the right gear to keep going. It's always better to have more control on your RPM even if you're not drifting/racing and it's not that hard if your pedals are close.
For daily driving, I just pump the gas then brake instead of trying to do both at once.
It’s way harder then they make it look 😭 I’m 16 ts is not ez
Cable handbrake + snow = Fun handbrake turns in a FWD car.
Yeah, screw my modern car and the damn electic handbreak that wont engage while driving :(
That's actually saved me from hitting several curbs. The car is understeering? Initiate oversteer
@@tigerman1978 In the same boat dude. I had to upgrade and got this electronic crap.
@@lordthicknipples-gt2oq Right on, I just used it to have fun around corners at night
There’s a winding road by the lake in my town that I have to take to work. Every time it snows it’s full on drifting in the crown vic. So fun.
Dylan has some George Russell energy, and I'm not sure how to feel about it
Dude in the snow reminds me of me at 17. Snowed about 1.5in were I was living and my buddy and I took my 91 Talon TSI to this industrial road that was basically a large S-curve. Got on it, got sideways, over corrected, and hit the ditch. He laughed the whole way.
I worked at a tire store back in the 90s. Two ladies came in and said the tires shake about 90 on the highway. I looked at them and all four had 95 PSI 😂. I think it was a ford Taurus or something like that.
Also had two guys wanting to put a 15 inch tire on a 14 inch rim🤷🤷 their friend said it will fit😂😂
When the kid almost hit the wall. The same thing happened to me in the snow on the highway. And I was inches from the wall. Went over 4 lanes spinning in circles. Because i was following a truck in blizzard snow. The highway opened up with extra lanes and the truck brust through the snow and i thought he cleared enough for me and the snow got caught under my undercarriage and the car just started spinning straight for the wall to the left of me. It was about 1am. at night. Thank god nobody was really out. And my wife was in the car. She didn't scream or say a word. After i straightened the car , I got us moving in the right direction again. I said, " You weren't scared." She stated Ultra calmy, and i quote. "I knew you had it." Well, thanks for having more faith in me than me. I'm still married to that woman to this day. 😂
The confidence they have in us sometimes haha
imagine if we still had Ken to react to stuff like this. 😟
Imagine if we just let dead people rest. That would be nice. Its obvious how it would be if he was here. But hes not. Let it go damn
@Ouroboross- They're not "resting".
When it would snow back in high school, my buddies and I would go out to a big church on the edge of town and make a “rally course” in the giant parking lot and race sorta side by side in my Audi Coupe GT, friends civic and other A4 Quattro, we did a fair amount of light bumps and lots of slides. We all had S10 or Ranger as first vehicle so we all had some skill w RWDs. Miss those days
Bro really said "🍑"
Forza continues with the boys 😭😭 This channel deserves it man! I love the Donut Team, ya'll found the groove and blasted into it!
I grew up drifting on gravel roads, lot of heel and toe. Only hit the ditch a few times. Miss it now.
The driver of the red Vette did a Scandinavian flick to set up the turn
super scary being 6ft away from a blow out 1 tire fire
There are three vehicles that I have drifted on snowy or icy roads one of them was a 92 Oldsmobile station wagon, and 88 F-350 one-ton and a 06 International Class 8 commercial truck.
The last one i did with an S-10 on snow, a tree was within an inch of the fender. The wheel was turned into the slide and was actually sticking out past the tree. It was badass.
Haha I did that heel toe method because my first truck was a 1976 Toyota PU with points that always needed adjusting.
That first video when he said where you look is where you are going to go 100% learned the lesson my first year riding motorcycles lol 😆
In that box truck drift video the lead car appears to be a Soviet-era Lada (those were RWD too). IIRC it was filmed in my country, and this was set up, with both drivers being actual local drift drivers.
Guy in the box truck was a f*****g beast. Definitely gotta give him props for that maneuver.
I have a 2003 for focus and I love drifting it in the mountains when it's snowing. Just hold the ebreak and throttle control turning inword instead of counter steering. Fwd drifting aka ass dragging lol. I'm saving up for a rwd v8 kit for it.
So basicly noobs are not welcomed, mistakes are forbiden and pros are gods and know everything about anything.
only if you do it where you can kill people
5:55 "you're gonna loop it, right....we all just kind of know that" OMFG Justins FACE lmao!
*me, never having drifted in my life, nodding my head with Justin* yeah definitely
As someone who has a "friend" who has drifted dually delivery vehicles (v10 ford) its a blast, especially if your working nights in the winter and there is nobody in the wide open parking lots. Tandem axle semis on ice are also interesting to drift but far scarier since your vehicle is 30' long 😂
I used to slide my 02 beetle in the winter, it was front wheel drive but I was able to weight transfer it into a really clean slide. I have a 2020 toyota 86 now so I can get a little sideways on dry pavement.
09:20 That's how I'm delivering mail in New England winters. Can do some silly things with the parking break.
the 2nd video was a hoot and a half! 🤣
imagine trying to control the rest of what's left of the steering column after the wheel popped out. 🤣
Uh. Yeah. if your steering wheel pops off the hub while you're driving, put the wheel back against the hub. It won't work 100% of the time, but it's a lot better than trying to use your hands. Had this happen before right before a corner in the canyons. Scary, but I just shoved the wheel back against the hub, and had JUST enough steering to slow my car and turn it, and bring it safely to a stop.
You should always thoroughly inspect your car, steering wheel included before driving if you have a wheel like this.
Also, yes, as they said, ALWAYS RE-TORQUE YOUR LUGS BETWEEN RUNS!
I moved out of the snow and into rain, But I do miss sliding in the snow feeling like a rally car driver on back roads on the way to work, first car I ever slide around was a ford Econoline literally staring out the drivers window going around turns XD good times, now it tree weaving in my backyard.
8:44 fax. i have this corner by my house that i took carefully and almost wrecked and one day i decited to frfr commit to it and not let off gas and i nailed it
fun fact at 10:43 : on an open diff the wheel that slips is going double the speed of what the dash says. Ex: one wheel peel with the speedo at 40, actually going at 80
14:33 I almost submitted this clip, until I saw that I needed to own the clip. Glad it made it on though
Another fun way to drift that I've seen is used in the Kei car scene in Japan. They use a short section of large PVC pipe slid onto the rear tyres to cover the treads. These tiny little front wheel drive cars have up to a 660cc engine, 63 horsepower and are flat out at 60mph so are ridiculously under powered. The bit of pipe on the rear tyres means you have plenty of grip on the front drive wheels and zero grip at the back. Throw the car around a curve and the rear end steps out. There you have it, a drift car!
That box truck drifting reminded me of when my bus driver in high school drifted the bus... like, properly. 45 degree sweep of the road going around turns particularly in the wintertime. Country things I guess?
For the drifting box truck, they swap out the engine and put a different one.
I already beat your play list. Love the C8 reward, but im a huge corvette anyways. I was happy to see thats the car you guys picked as well.
I remember seeing a video of someone trying to drift around an elevating hairpin turn (going from bottom to top, left turn). They *did* make the drift, but didn't stay on the road. They managed to roll their car over, back to where they started.
On lug nuts: I've had terrible luck. After my first experience where they started to get loose I always DOUBLE CHECK WITH A TORQUE WRENCH. And yet...twice more I've had them come loose.
A friend told me to use anti-seize on the studs and so far that has seemed to work better, but I thought dry was standard???
