Snow drift video

I couldnt find any decent snow drift videos on youtube, so I went ahead and made my own. I wish I could've gotten a bit more speed into the drift, but the parking lot was small. Enjoy

Our local PCA had a ice driving event a week ago but I didn't get up for it. I don't know that I want this car sliding sideways in a parking lot. Thanks for sharing.

Yea, but the parking lot was too small to get a nice long drift and correct it perfectly.
Im new to drifting a boxster, but not new to drifting... Ive put many miles driving sideways, and destroyed dozens of tires, but in a typical front engine rwd ( A lot of those 'miles' in my 944 turbo) Theres something about the middle engine setup thats different...it slides a bit, and then it wants to correct itself... hard at times.
