Initial B - Two sizes smaller than D

Just turned 30. Cant afford a drift car, so I substituted a drift CARt. Made a foam shell, plopped it on my razor crazy cart and we're good to go.
I didn't get to make a tutorial because I thought I'd fail but this is as close as I can get with all the documenting I took

@Abel MENDES on the cart itself the wheel has an arrow. Once you pull the drift bar and frees you back wheel so that when you turn the wheel in the arrow direction, the back of the cart still follows where you originally drove. After knowing that, you just figure out how go make it drift and look the way you want
