Default RE: Dodge Challenger gets its drift on

I'm sorry, but "drifting" or its vile cousin, the "burnout," are the two STUPIDEST things ever done with cars. I never even heard of "drifting" till the late Dale Earnhardt (the NASCAR driver I hated the worst in the 1980s -- I was always a Bill Elliott fan, when NASCAR was still semi-realistic) started doing it to carve a cursive, lower-case "e" into the infield after he'd occasionally win a race). And "burnouts" used to be called "brake-stands" and were used ONLY when you were using something like a 440 Magnum with autotrans to go off the line in a race for MONEY. Why anybody would subject ANY sort of car to that abuse unnecessarily should have their license revoked immediately, because it's obvious they're too stupid to drive. OK. End of rant.
