How do you want to get sideways? From a dead stop, into a turn, or around a corner?

DON'T ... get sideways in the first place. It just makes you slow.

It's always fun ... until you slide into a ditch or curb.

But ... if you really must lean to go sideways. Go to driving school and learn some car control.

Keep your foot on the gas, turn slightly, then clutch kick!

From a stop, turn your wheel all the way to the left or right, then rev it to about 4000 RPM's and let her rip

Now after you do this a few times, go to www.tirerack.com and order yourself a new set of tires for $1200.00
