Iām sure youāve all seen those amazing videos of highly-skilled drifters racing and drifting their cars around a track within inches of each other, right? Itās impressive. But what if you want to do this without the benefit of driving skill or a well-sorted car, or experience or anything like that? Then you can do what these loons did, and just weld two cars together.
By āthese loons,ā I of course mean the bonkers Russians at Garage 54, and by ācarsā I mean two gloriously shitboxy Ladas.
Here, watch:
The snow and slush certainly helps with drifting, though the occasional wheel loss likely doesnāt, so much.
The manner the cars are welded together is, of course, of the usual Garage 54 quality: a bunch of metal tubes and wedges welded right to the body panels of both cars, with the same casual speed and lax attention to detail weāve come to expect.
I should be clear that I donāt mean that as a dig; you have to be comfortable and skilled with your tools to slap something together like that, and, to their credit, have it actually work. A lot of stress was being placed on those welds during the course of this ridiculous experiment, and itās worth noting that the cars did not rip apart.
I was kind of expecting one of them to go spinning off with most of the other carās fenders attached, but that never happened. Iām impressed.
Shockingly, this isnāt even the first time weāve seen someone try this.Ā
See? Thereās still wonder left to be found in the world.
