A perfect candidate for the Street Survival program. Get him on the skid pad and yank on the E-Brake when he least expects it. "This is what happens when you do that..." :eek:

funny you mention that, when I read the article, I was thinking "drifting a FWD Jetta??"

Yeah, what's up with that?

"apparently he didn't do it very well..." enough said.

Sad story, do we have a 'special list' of names from news like this if they show up at an event ?

People like this are the reason I get harassed by the cops in my Eclipse at least once a month. Its probably the saddest and most annoying thing ever! I'm sorry but I don't really feel bad for him. In fact I had a good friend of mine die because of something like this and I have to say I still don't feel bad.

I wondered about that myself. I don't know VDubs and wasn't sure if a Jetta is FWD or RWD.

So real life isn't like it's shown on TV? Who'd a thunk!!! :cool:

Someone who knows VWs better may have a better answer, but I think in general for Volkswagen:

Air cooled = Rear wheel drive

Water cooled = FWD, with the exception of some Vanagons....

Can't you tell by which end is leaking oil too?

Dude, that's my MR2 right now! The dizzy shaft seal is leaking and Toyota want you to buy a whole new distributor to fix it. I had to order the O ring from NAPA. Comes in on Monday. 'Till then I'm leaking a half quart every 100 miles!

<Woody> "It's not drifting, it's skidding.. with style!" </Woody>

Maybe not so much style in this case...

Right at the beginning of the article is an obvious oxymoron: drag racing maneuver called a "drift". Correct me if i'm wrong (i'm foreign after all), but aren't those two a bit different?
I do like the quote from the police officer though: "He apparently didn't do it very well," Trooper Gilbert Mares said of the driver's attempted drift. :p
Hey Ryan, remember the drive from our last icecross? :cool:

Drifting and drag racing are different motor sports. A drift would be very undesirable during a drag race.

Too bad sarcasm is so hard to show online :p Thanks for clarifying it though ;)

I try to employ the <sarcasm> tag ;) Sorry for missing it :)
