2005 C230 Sedan 6spd
Drifting in the rain is fun!
Is raining pretty hard here in Indiana, I just took my C230 6spd sedan out into a empty parking lot and start drifting around in 2nd gear (ESP OFF).....Boy was it fun~~ Give some gas while turning (Enough gas to break loose these OEM Mechilin Pilot sport is quite difficult (thats a good thing btw)
Once the rear break lose, the fun begins~ :p I'll try to get a friend to go with me next time and see if I can make a short video out of it......This is my first RWD car, so I'm just toying with it
Also training for winter when snow start to fall of course~

drifting is great...i agree...however the freaking parking brake on our cars is the foot kind not the handbrake...would make things much more fun if we had a hand brake

Once, I turn off the ESP, the orange triangle light appears on the dash. While I was "Drifting" I just notice it blinking, but it didn't put brakes on my wheels, or cut my fuel. (as it would if ESP was on)
I'm not aware there's a Dyno mode.....whats that? :p ........somebody juse tell me.....I don't wanna search~ :v
I'll be checking the weather, and hope it rains again real soon.......I'll bring my Canon S410 with me to shoot some "OK resolution" videos. I don't have a camcordoer

yea, but if he's from CA or a state where it doesn't snow, Snow tires would be useless..
