40 years ago I used to go out in the rain at midnight and slide whatever I had for a ride. There was absolutely no one on the road, so the only thing I could do was either hurt myself or do some property damage; maybe both. Fortunately, nothing like that ever happened before I grew up a bit and quit playing in the rain. We used to call it a brodie. (Actually a brodie was more of a half circle skid.) Now it's drifting and people pay to see it. Go figure.

LOL "brodie" haven't heard that one in a few decades

I could do a mean brodie on my Schwinn stingray

Doing donuts in the rain in a empty parking lot with dads Oldsmobile cutlass.

Dirt tracking moms Impala station wagon in the soybean fields.

and this generation thinks it invented "drifting"
