    Start here - http://www.scca.com/home.aspx

    Make sure your car is in good mechanical condition, from tires, to brakes to cooling to safety (seats/belts) and nothing is loose.

    Rent a helmet, pay your $25-35 fee and have fun.

    Once you do this a couple of times, look into local HPDE events. You'll be provided with instructor, lunch, instructions and about 2-3 solid hours of driving in a safe environment. Your car will need to pass tech. inspection before you'll be allowed to attend.

    Go buy "Dirft Bible" ... make sure to attempt things like dynamic drifts, and feint drifts your first time out like everyone does after playing video games.

    also play video games like "tokyo extreme racer:zero" to learn high speed manuevering.

    Both of these options are affordable and sound PERFECT for your situation. :p

    So who were you calling a dick?

    I think the age comment wasn't to degrade you, it was to see if you are eligible for the lower driver skill classes which are considerably cheaper than a full on driving school.

    thanks to those that didn't assume I wanted to show off to my friends and look cool in my "bIMmErzZ", and actually posted useful comments. i wasn't calling everyone a dick, and I apologize that I was unclear about that.

    I just want to be a better driver and have more fun while driving.

    A good DVD I found is Skippy B's:



    Any of the book by Ross Bentley are also excellent.

    Secrets of Solo Racing by Henry A Watts is a pretty ok book

    not organized very well and mine is missing some pages but it's a good place to start

    never grab the inside of the wheel.

    Like everyone said, go to an AutoX.

    Ask an experienced driver to ride along and give you pointers. Controling a slide will come naturally once you are comfortable with driving near the edge.
