drifting?

anybody ever drift in their fords, I do it in my subaru on dirt and snow. Seems like it might be kinda fun on dirt in Bronco or a short 150.

ive done it before in my f150 on asphalt. all i have to do is touch the accelerator to brake traction in the rear. the body roll is worse than in a car but surprisingly for a truck its really not that bad. ive also done it on a gravel road took a sharp right at 50mph. man that was insane, felt like i had no traction at all. for a second i thought i had screwed up. the ditch and telephone pole in the ditch was about 2 feet away from my truck when i cam out of the drift. that will scare the crap out of ya. but it was a rush.

Never - like my 8K+ lb truck too much to kiss a telephone pole

Used to drift the old man's El Camino around almost every corner....It was almost always wet, so it made it easy as that 283 2v and peanutbutter glide wouldn't light them up on dry pavement....

i do it all the time in the snow, as long as theres no cars coming. out in the country, not by deep ditches just in case, ill powerslide every corner all the way home. scare my sister to death when were goin straight down an icy road and ill throw it sideways and bring it back straight. haha i know, it isnt the smartest thing to do, but its fun. havent had anything happen yet

i do it in snow all the time also, mainly out behind the mall before they plow it. leave it in 2wd till i stick it, then use 4wd to get out. wife doesnt care much for my "playing" but my daughter loves it. who said you couldnt learn driving skills from watching dukes of hazzard?

sometimes i do in my bronco it has a spool in the rear so it makes it real easy in snow or mud, but it also rides on 35s real dangerous on dry pavement when i do it its always when iam wheelin.

I love empty snow covered parking lots. My school has some of the best ones in the winter.

whenever I turn down the grass/gravel road with no exit beside my house, I always floor it to get a little Yee-Haa time in. Also if it just started raining my truck will slide on me if I give her too much torque in a turn.
