Brilliant idea!! Get a sensible DD, a drifter, a 4WD stick like glue, goes great in a straight line.. Gosh so many variables.

What happens when you're in your DD, happen upon some interesting roads??

Go fast? I expect trying to learn to drift with any thing more than passing interest is going to beat the shit out of it.

The BRZ is built for grip driving anyway. The FRS is the DRFT model.

one car for each purpose:
-Drift car
-Cargo carrying car
-Trailer hauling truck
-family hauling car
-zombie apocalypse SUV
-go-fast-in-a-straight-line car
-drag car

So you better have a bigass garage because cars are clearly intended for use with one and only one purpose each.

But I thought Miata was always the answer, thus eliminating the entire list except that....

We used to drift these all the time!





It is possible that I drove the very one pictured actually.




Didn't call it "drifting" and had no idea it would eventually be a real sport but you could break traction and side them around a corner with relative ease once you learned the trick.
