900 in Moldova buys a running rear wheel drive Mercedes or BMW. One kerbed wheel on my Miata is almost half of that. So every time the back steps out, I catch it. Not because I can't hold the slide, because I've already done the math on what a ditch costs.

I made three videos trying to learn to drift this car and I'm stuck at the same spot in every
one of them. This is me admitting why, and what I'm doing about it: my Miata is not my drift
car anymore.

Also in here: why "just go to a track" doesn't work when your country has zero racetracks, and
what the local 200 euro drift lessons actually teach you (a figure eight on a parking lot).

What comes next, a Miata or something else, is in the next video.
