      Oh it can be done. Just pull that e-brake and drive.

      Get off my headlight dim biatch. I like it that way. Soon, I'll have enough stuff to make the car shut down because I'll be drawing too much power. Then I'll be happy.

          Alot of guys will remove the e-brake switch in the handle so thy can just pull up and drop it.. So that way they dont have to worry about it staying on..

            ive done it lots of times in my 02. i try not to do it so much anymore because its hell on my tires. im on my third set of tires in only 26000 miles.=) when my last set only had a little tread left, i went out and had some fun and f*cked the rest of the tread up. by the time i was done the front tires were bald and the rear tires had a flat spot.=)

                Dude just turn really hard!
                I had the car going one way and slideing near sideways with the hammer down.
                THe first time was by accident I figured my tires coudnt slide but when I took a turn at 60 it was just fun, and fully controlled.

                    Go to a site with hardcore drifters and say you can drift your fwd protege...ya gonna get flamed big time. Try to enter a competition with your protege.....your gonna get laughed at. So unless you acomplish those two things without getting ragged on, OFFICALLY no, your not drifting. I've seen a few fwd cars "drifting" pretty damn good though.

                      kinda

                      It's pretty easy to induce oversteer by either handbraking or feinting, but the protege is way to front heavy and being fwd, you have little control over the back once it breaks loose. That being said, I have managed to slide the car sideways and make it look like its drifting, but it's impossible (i think) to drift very far because the car slows down pretty quickly. Try yanking the handbrake and see for yourself.

                        It's easy to drift in a protege just douce all of your wheels with tire-shine until soaked and then go really really fast and pull up the e-brake

                            you can do it, the car lift throttle oversteers really nicely. Dont know about stock form though. You can do a Scandinavian Flick (aka Feint) and get the car to drift as well, left foot braking is another method of it as is Late Braking into a corner...its possible just not as pretty as RWD cars do it.

                              not trying to be rude, but dragging your ass is NOT drifting...get a rwd car if you want to drift
