Awesome post! KARMA! One thing I want to add is how dangerous oversteer or drifting can be in a FWD car. If the back end of a FWD car comes loose, it can be VERY difficult to control. Once the rear wheels lock up and start sliding in that manner, they can't be controlled. It is completely up to the front wheels to control the slide. While it can be dangerous in a RWD car as well, it is much easier to control with a little practice. Skillful throttle inputs can easily control RWD oversteer. I'm not what you would call a professional or even skilled road racer. But I've accidentally gotten into oversteer conditions in my MX-6 and my dad's Mustang. Lemme tell ya, it was not a problem in the 'stang. In the 6, however, I completely spun out on an offramp avoiding a projectile-like hubcap. To the average "beginner" driver, drifting should be CAREFULLY practiced, if at all, in a wide-open secluded area!
