more late night shenanigans-- a friend of mine wanted me to teach him how to drift, starting in a dry parking lot... his car was AWD and auto trans but it also had an LSD and semi-auto shift function so we made it work.
AWD just feels, well, weird, to get sideways. i am definitely no master but i wrung it out once at 35mph to demonstrate. the squealing of tires freaked him out at first which was hilarious. i let him try donuts to get a feel for controlled sliding, and then finally one drift attempt where he completely forgot to counter steer, but it was all super fun.
another one of my idiot friends decided it'd be funny to hit 140 on a country road with me in the passenger seat. i wasn't exactly happy but that's the fastest I've ever gone in anything in my life so yeah i guess that's pretty cool
