Man this guy just doesnt stop, its like a pesty racoon getting into your garbage, UGH.
oh, reminds me of a racoon story. My neighbour had mad racoons go in his pond and eat his fish, and he was choked. So one night he threw in hella fish in the pond and threw in a live electrical wire with the ends cut off. Plugged it into the socket wall and waited all night for the racoons to come and eat the fish, well about 3am they came and the old man woke up. Yup, he did the unthinkable and turned on the switch to the open wires in the pond and the whole electricity and light in the house blew out. Like he cared, he said he just ran out side to see if the little shits were there and sure enough there were two of them feet up and fried
He was super happy and after changing a breaker he was all good and he tells me no racoons ever came back. 
Now thats effort. Point of the story, this 550freak is like on of those racoons, Get lost pal unless you are here to learn shit, dont give advice or comments because no one wants to read them after your previous posts, you fuked up your rep a long time ago choch, PEACE OUT.

My Ride: A Car
Looks good. Must be a fun experience! This really helps knowing more about ur car. Second gear would've probably been easier to control but you need a tad higher speed. 1st gear has too much power. That annoying bong bong bong! LOL.
U dont need to turn the wheel fast! Physics does the rest. Just pull it to one direction past the middle and it will spin to the other side but catch it before it turns ALL the way. Drifting is all about controlling the throttle not how fast you turn your wheel or how much u turn it. It's not about pulling the ebrake.

just some tips for next time, although you got much better as the video progressed! 
be smooth with the steering, jerking the car does not help when you are trying to control a slide. seriously in most cases once your sideways all you need to do is make very small steering corrections unless your switching direction or changing the drift angle to enter a tighter turn.
also directly related to your steering, the throttle. keep your RPM's more consistent its not about mashing and letting go its about smooth precise throttle adjustments this will help you with making small steering adjustments as well since the car wont be coming in and out of grip, rather it will keep the same consistent grip throughout your slide allowing you to feel in control.
2nd gear would definitely help next time as well like others have said, also MDM will not help you in those conditions (too slick for it, dsc will engage). the only way is traction control off like you were doing
definitely hard and takes practice
keep it up!
