On my carpet, you're automatically doing a drift for some reasone, You'd be going forward, but your car would be sideways. Eventually you'd straighten out, it's so much fun.

its because of the rear wheels if you look at the side and spin them forward, they're acting like a screw.

its always "drifting" because its following the "grain" in the carpet. so its not actually drifting. The grain in most carpets just isnt straight.

bleh, on my carpet, which is 13 years old and fairly worn out, it understeers like crazy. remember not to get understeer/oversteer mixed up with powerslides and drifts. btw, it only drifts if you can control which way you wanna skid. otherwise it's a powerslide
