Oh come on. You mean to tell me none of you have ever just jerked the wheel and ripped the ebrake while flying down an empty freeway? I mean I'm sure not all of you have freeways as wide as the I15 can get but come on. We're talking good fun and a carton of ciggarettes once you're done screaming But the look on you best friends face during the whole ideal as he grabs onto anything he can from the passenger seat because you decide to act on a whim and get the car spinning at 80mph without saying a word...Priceless .

That was in my ZX2 though. I'd never do something like that anymore, especially in my Z. Had to put the spare on as one of the tires seperated from the rim and started shooting sparks. I'm sure it looked really pretty from a distance. Counter steering at that point is pretty pointless so I just let it go til it got down to a managable speed. For the next couple years til I left Cali he never would get back in a car with me if I was driving. Said he just couldn't trust me anymore.

Disclaimer: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR ON YOUR LOCAL INTERSTATE. The results can be disasterous. I consider my self lucky especially considering I lost a tire during the whole ordeal. What was I thinking? I wasn't. Just another stupid kid who just had to get it out of my system. Adrenaline can be an addicting thing

Haha, thats just good times there, I know what you mean, busting that ebrake is sure fun, and even more fun when you've got someone else w/ you who didnt see it coming I've never busted it out on the freeway, but definately have my 180 mastered on city streets (even in my Z). Its like anything else stupid attempted while driving, only do it in safe areas where you cant hurt yourself or anyone else, and even then, its still usually stupid.

Ahh, lawsuits don't bother me. It's lww I'm worried about

And remember guys, as much as it pisses off the guys behind you on the grid, keep it on the track when trying the newest and craziest




If you don't try it atleast once, then you'll never know?
