Powerslides with E-brake

Alrite since it is winter time with snow on the ground i have a horrible tendency to pull 180s with the ebrake in most any places available--such as intersections, parking lots, neighborhoods--anyway i was wondering what kinda of damage this is doing to my car...i have stock wheels and tires so...other than the possibilty of hitting a curb and bending the wheels is there any problem??? Mind u this on hard packed snow and ice...and feels very smooth (the tires are not griping at all)

tru tru.....but hey, pulling the brake is a good thing too...gotta remember that if you don't use your brake enough, the cable can go slack over time too... so keep pulling that e-brake!

I ve perfected ass dragging (e braking), thanks to rental cars, I riunr\ed 2 corrolas in 2 weeks (reverse didnt work and I crashed on rally driving)
My specialty is flooring the car in reverse to about 50kms the cranking the wheel and at the same time pulling the e brake then putting it into drive then dropping the e brake and cranking the wheel in the opposite direction, a perfect 180 with out stopping. I can e brake into a parralel parking spot ( I need about 8 ft on each end thats still good ) and once I ripped an e brake in a 2002 Intrepid with 6 people and pulled a 360 in Stanley Park (2 lanes wide) now I gotta try drifting

When I had my 95 Mustang GT conv, I used to do that ALL the time...
It was fun as hell... But then I did stretch the e-brake cable..

Rear wheel drives are definitely more fun to do figure 8, donuts, etc... OH how I miss my GT...

yeah, 92 v6 le, pedal handbrake is a pain in the ass

have to keep on hand on the release at all times, so i can't go from drive to reverse or viceversa without letting go of the wheel or the release

i wonder if i could put the handbrake from the 4cyl in there? must track one down in a junk yard
