As soon as I read "practice high speed drifting" I stopped reading the thread. - on a public highway?!, ridiculous...
All kids should have to learn on 80HP FWD cars, before ever attempting to drive a 220HP AWD car to it's limits.
I think this a quote from one of the many magazines that talk about the Impreza's handling...
"Take it right up to the edge, and the Impreza will make average driver look like a hero. Without driver training, and proper instincts you'll fall right off the other side."
