thats what i was gonna say...

no matter how much control you say or think that you have over a car...there is no way that you can fully control a spinning 2500 pound car on a slippery (or not) surface...

Forgot about this part. There is always a small amount of control that you have to give up to achieve certain things. The better the driver, the more control he/she has over the situation. There are many things, like drifting for example, that require a moment of 'no control', but as long as you control the car properly to 'set up', than you really are in control even when you aren't.

yes, i totally agree, that was well said. my point was really that there are a lot of younger kids on this board, who don't have the discretion to differentiate between when it's safe to do something like that, and when it's not. from what you have said, it sounds like you are a very responsible driver. i just worry that someone asking "how to drive like they do in the movies" isn't going to be responsible enough or mature enough to determine when it's ok to drift around a corner, and when it's not.
