I'm not too worried about damaging anything in my car, as the fastest I've ever even gotten my car to go was barely over 20, and I've got a reserve account in my bank specifically for car parts that I stocked up over the summer.
I'm a little surprised at how quickly some of you got freaked out by the idea of snow drifting though. It's really not that bad for the car as long as it's done properly, (I.E. not ripping the E-brake and seeing how far you can slide) and up here in Maine, there's really not much else to do involving cars, especially during winter.
SHOoff, you definitely can drift a FWD car, especially in snow. It's an entirely different technique and style than RWD or AWD drifting, and probably better named, as people above said, as ass dragging, but it's drifting nonetheless. It's really easy with a car as light as a Cavalier, too.
And to Transporter, awesome video, and I want your driveway.
You'd be amazed with the amount of hate people spew here with anything. Power sliding or whatever else in the winter is fun. As long as you are doing it away from people and property, I don't see the issue. But, 'OH MY GOD, IT'S A CAVALIER', you son of a bitch. How dare you talk about having fun in your J-Body on a J-Body site . Note, you didn't even say you were drifting on the street, but right away, you're evil, you're illegal, you're a ricer . . . Gets old real quick . . .
I don't know. Maybe I've just grown out of the car forum phase which is why I never post anymore, lol.

Woah woah, its funny how you guys are saying there is so much hate in this thread. Only one person said anything negative towards this guy. I mearly said it will be funny when he posts the "I bent my INSERT PART NAME HERE" thread because he was trying to "drift" Im not hating on him for doing it, its his car, go for it. Also I said that I would never do it in a car that I actually cared about. Some people like doing it, some dont, its the same as street racing. 90% of us have done it, and grew up and realized its not worth our car or DL. Either way, Im not hating on the guy, he is gonna do it reguardless. Just dont post topics that you guys may catch heat on, and your feelings wont get hurt on the Interwebz

No offense, but I counted four negative remarks on the first page, and my feelings aren't hurt from a few people hating something I do. Not the first time. Plus, I've read a lot of the negative responses people give on here already, so I expected some comments like that anyway. I was just surprised at the two on the first page who immediately freaked out, considering it's relatively harmless to the car (assuming there's a hefty amount of loose snow, and you're in control enough to keep the car away from objects).
The ricer comment was kind of funny though.
Has anyone been having a good amount of snow in their area, though? My area hasn't had snow on the roads in forever now. We're almost down to grass...
