C'mon folks......get with the era. It's the mid-sixties and they were
called "drifts".....more commonly "four-wheel drifts".
They were NOT called "power slides"!!! :-)

I could be wrong, but isn't there a technical difference between a
"power slide" and a "four-wheel drift"?
As I understand it, in a power slide, you're applying opposite lock
while the car is in heavy oversteer. During a properly performed
four-wheel drift, you're not steering at all. You're controlling the
direction of the car by applying more or less throttle.
But then, I'm not a native speaker of English.
F'up to alt.usage.english? :)
