Infact, Wow, I realized I agree with every word of that.

that being said i "drift" my car all the time, its called driving home from work with 4" of snow on the ground,
First of all drifting is not about a pass time, it is about style and control. That is what sets it apart from the other racing sports. Do you consider football or baseball or basketball a sport? Are those not ways of life? What is the definition of a sport to you? I would like to see you tell anyone on this site that racing is not a sport. It is competitive is it not? Isn't that a crucial part of sports to have some sort of competitive aspect?

BTW, you do not drift on your way home from work. You might slide, and correct it. You do not slide through turns holding angle throughout the entire turn. Yeah you would be pulled over for that. Its called reckless driving no matter what surface you are on, because ACTUAL drifting can be avoided in every case. You have to WANT to get sideways and HOLD it there for it to be called drifting, not break loose and regain control quickly while turning.

If that is your definition, I would like to inform you that cars don't drive themselves. I guess to you walking is considered a sport as well. Please remove yourself from the car enthusiast community. You obviously don't have a true respect for any car let alone a mustang. I realize no one is going to change your opinion, and all i can say is that is sad. Sorry OP for this happening in your thread.
