         Handbrake turn

If you happen to find yourself in a high-speed car chase (it’s OK, we won’t ask why), this popular move will turn a pursuer’s head upside down. By using the handbrake to lock the rear wheels while using the steering wheel to transfer the weight to the outside tires, the car will slide sideways, giving you a better shot at making that sharp turn without really slowing down

          Drifting

Before Vin Diesel and Paul Walker made drifting mainstream, this driving technique in which the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, has amassed a cult-like following in places where racing and car culture reign supreme, like Japan. In fact, entire competitions are dedicated to drifting, which feature cars specifically built for the popular technique. It's so thrilling, it feels like riding a bike through a blazing fire while performing a headstand, for the very first time. Ah, kindergarten, how we miss you.
