Default Most Fun in a FWD

I've always watched these videos but finally got a chance to do it. Plus it gives you guys a good idea of how open exhaust sounds.

Looks fun, still no replacement for RWD, and I know how open exhaust sounds, I have my cutout cracked (Yes, the one that replaced my cat) most of the time.

The most fun I've had in my car is pulling my emergency break around hairpin turns and getting completely sideways and zooming off....this was of course on my bald and ready to replace tires.

I've been wanting to try that, but I apparently don't have the cajones... However if I do wreck my car, it is paid for... I did drift my RX all the time though.

Didn't make one. I don't feel the need to record every moronic thing that I do. There's not enough memory in the world for that!!!

Only had 2 sets of trays. And they only last for 2 good turns without lube. I've got plenty of good videos, just nothing really legal since it's on the street
