Default Laugh at my ****ty attempt to slide around in the rain last night..................

Come laugh at my no skills!!

For some reason, I don't know why, I could not get my car to slide last night.
I had traction control off too that's what makes me all confused...

Yes it is stock and automatic, that doesn't really make a difference though because I can still get it sideways.
And I have left large smoke clouds in many parking lots on dry pavements before.

yah second gear + traction control off, no ebrake

I noticed that my front wheels were sliding a lot too so it prevented me from getting sideways the way I wanted. And other times they were gripping too much.

Now that I think about it I should have started off with a stand still burn out then went from there because the rear wheels would already be at a spin. *facepalm*

you should watch drift bible for some pointers. you can brake before you turn to fight understeer (weight shifts forward), then the rest is like a regular drift.
