hahaha i was not near a tree (i wasnt going towards the cop) all the other people in the cars had gone ahead of me i was the last one

just saying that evey once in awhile i like to get sideways i am really picky on were i do it though as i have got sideways and wrecked my old 67 cougar(just put it out of its misery) after that i decided to go to evoc(emergency vehicle opertaions course) there they had a huge polished concrete area with water on it and you have a cop car with bald tires i learned alot doing that i am not saying i am perfect but i know im gonna do it either way i might as well know the point when the cars not gonna go back and your gonna spin around

i am not getting sideways to try to be cool but i enjoy doing it to me its a feeling like no other

Well, I'm getting a little concerned here. This and other posts indicate that there is a certain element here which considers a little street mayhem good for the soul. Earlier this year, there was a local police officer/car enthusiast who was killed off duty while "stunting", (local paper's term for burning donuts on the highway). He had a bad *** mustang and was a frequent show participant. This fellow was obviously trained in hi performance driving and should have known what the consequences might be, but that did not save him from the semitruck that flattened him and his car as he burned a couple late at night on what he thought was deserted highway. Tragic.

I do applaud your good sense in heading for the EVOC course. It is a good thing to know how your vehicle behaves under extreme conditions and we would all be better drivers if we knew where the limits of our vehicles and our abilities were. Best to find this out under controlled conditions, but you won't find those on public roads.
