Sheeeit, I can barely fit one foot between the brake pedal and the center console //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

in an FWD you can use the E-brake to break the rear tires lose and drift (albeit akwardly) around corners. however, being a FWD, it'll understeer & smoke the tires a little while doing this. You can use the foot brake & gas at the same to to keep things (somewhat) under control and stay out of understeering as much as possible.

edit:

here's an example...

these guys are (much) better drivers than me, but FWD drifting isn't too hard... the main thing is to keep from understeering... as long as the rear is locked up its pretty easy to start the drift, but if you lose control of the front end things get interesting. Personally, if i completely lost the front end in a tight turn, i'd be screwed... a better driver would probably be able to recover somewhat...

brakes are biased 80/20 to the front, you're effectively just decreasing your throttle

and unless you have an lsd, you're breaking traction on ONE tire

you'd be better served to use the manual gear select to keep it in a high gear, and save your brakes, tires, and transmission

or best yet, quit driving mom's accord like an ******* so you can live a few more years and figure out why that sort of driving is best kept to the track once one of your other friends ****s up, and you can find out 2nd hand rather than 1st

I drive a stick... kinda hard to do THAT with one foot.. not to say i havent done it before just to do it though.

 

[yacob.naif 10+ year member]

with a steady foot, you can engage most manual transmissions through all 5 gears at idle

even my buddy's 70hp 93 civic ex could do it

23mph in 5th @ 700rpm's FTW

and most can be shifted from 3rd to 4th to 5th with no clutch, but i wouldn't recommend trying to downshift unless you have a tach and a **** good perception for rev matching or your syncs are gonna take a dump

So I am driving along today and see some a$$ clown climbing a hill while his brake lights are on! WTF ? How in the hell can you be cimbing a hill and have your foot on the brake? This annoys the $hit out of me especially when I am on a highway.

probably just something wrong with his wiring.. ive seen a 04 lancer 2weeks ago on the street going about 55-60 with his reverse lights on..

it was pretty strange seeing the car go foward with the reverse lights on

Clutch here. Sometimes my tripod hits the break though.

Yeah, i always mess with ppl the first time they ride in the car by not using the clutch. Rev matching is like a 6th sense to me. Driving a stick in itself is a 6th sense. idk.

some people just never get it

i'm one of those people who ALWAYS drives, i hate being the passenger in most of my friends cars.

crazy as it seems, the only friend i ever had that i could tell was an actual GOOD driver was a girl

a lot of people just don't 'get' driving, tho, and you can tell as soon as you get in the car
