You probably could've taken a picture like that of a lot of FWDs on the big sweeper at the L'burg event. I'm pretty sure I gave some courseworkers a bit of a show, anyway...

This thing is definitely drift worthy if there ever was such a thing. I've seen this car in person and the owner's a really friendly guy here in NC.

I thought the way you dorift0 a FWD is to put Wendy's trays under the rear tires. That's the way I've done it anyway!!!

The Flyin' Lin brothers! :D I vividly remember watching you guys toss the Corolla around that day and that's when I decided to see if you wanted to drive the CRX sometime. I figured if you could drift a stock Corolla, watching you drive the CRX could be highly entertaining! :lol:

I've posted this one a few times but the opening sequence always makes me chuckle: CRX + 40-degree weather + dead Azenis = FWD drifto

That happened to be my fastest run of the day which supports the notion that Lucky > Good most of the time...
