Please note: There were a lot of light poles which limited my speed and movement. I had to do within the specifications. Otherwise, I'd have been doing some bigger and longer drifts. At least wait until winter when I know a huge ___ parking lot and I can do it in the snow. You'll be surprised at what I can do.

Nice. I would have to assume that VSC and TRAC kicked in several times. Is that the stock exhuast? I like the sound of the stock exhuast.

That's pretty cool for an xB but really anyone can do that in the rain. Let me find the cables to hook up my camera to this computer and ill upload a pic of me and my friends on dry pavement (not in the xA).
Sweet drifts though

Next time just steal some fast food trays (from like Taco Bell), place them under your rear tires, pull your hand break up and have fun (watch out for lightpoles, homeless dudes, security, and stray shooping carts, and animals.

Well, I turned off Trac, so probably only VSC was enabled. Yea that is the stock exhaust.


I know anyone can do it in the rain, but has anyone done it in a box or videotaped one doing it?

nice video man...i had talked to you before over PM and told you that my brother does SAE stuff up there for the RIT formula team. If your interested you should get in on that club.

lots of good experiences. Hes been to detroit and australia to race formula cars...all that crap.

anyway...my point...RIT has a lot of nice spots for drifting, my bro had me almost crap'n me pants. and when the mud comes watch out. your car gets covered by peoples peeling out, throwing mud. some pretty funny sites.

Can you please give m your VIN# in case I'm in the market for a used Scion.

Save it for the snow.. much less abusive on the car..
FWD sucks for power slides..

I'm old now, but when I was yong we did crap like that all the time... mostly on dirt roads... and there were NO FWD cars on the market at the time...
My buddy had a 59 Oldsmobile with 400 cubic inches and about 2.5 tons of detroit iron.. man that thing would slide... but it was scary as hell... cause once it got loose... there was no tellin what would happen next... Ahhh.. the good ole day... It sucked gas like you can't imagine... but it was anywhere between .15 and .19 cents a gallon! So nobody cared.. I had some wild times back then... I'll post some more memories if anybody cares to listen...
