From Jalopnik
"...Two years ago, I had a conversation with Formula Drift champion Samuel Hübinette. I asked him how he learned to balance a car on the edge, and what made his car control skills superior to those of anyone else. His answer was funny, but not shocking, because it sounds almost exactly like to how I learned to drive: "I would steal my mom's old 240D Mercedes-Benz," Sam said, "and have fun on frozen lakes."
