The worst is the UK. They use both systems in some places, and sometimes it's tough to tell when the signs are in miles and when the signs are in km per hour.

I should have been more clear. Using the e-brake is more like a power slide because the rear wheels lose traction. It's not a power slide in the sense that you use power to cause the slide, sorry. I was taught that drifting should be four-wheel drift, which is why I think of using the e-brake as mor...

If you use the e-brake, you're not really drifting. It's more of a power slide then.

I would think it's more that BMW uses that silly CDV (clutch delay valve)

The steering wheel locks are worthless. You just have to take a saw to the actual steering wheel. Then slide the lock off the broken steering wheel.

If people would just take an hour sometime and go to a snowy parking lot for some practice, there would be far fewer accidents in the winter. If both cars are in some snow at a standstill, FWD do...

Most people don't know how to drive very well. If you do know how to drive a RWD car, you will be much better off; when RWD cars lose traction and start sliding it's simple to correct it - You turn opposite the way of the skid. And sometimes, just letting up on the gas is good enough to regain tract...

Currently, the Infiniti G35 Coupe charges extra for a manual. The Mazda RX-8 also charges more for a manual transmission. The manual isn't a...
