OK, this short video here managed to reveal two things for us - you can actually do donuts with 1 horsepower and second, some Amish people crave for the car culture.
In case you don’t know what we’re speaking of here, the Amish are a group of traditionalist Christian church fellowships, who are known for their simple way of living and reluctance to adopt most modern technology. Including cars and electricity. Now you can understand how much this guy here wants to drift a car.
No seriously, whoever is in that buggy deserves a prize for making a horse and carriage slide in a parking lot. Guess he’s a natural talent and could do a lot better with a car. Yeah, the pavement is all covered up in snow which technically makes it easier, but you still need a lot of... ahem... hand-horse coordination to make it look properly.
In North America, there are over 90 varieties of Amish buggies and depending on religious order, they can be black, gray, yellow or other color. They’re quite interesting how similar their culture is compared to our cars.
For example, some of them have wipers and producers offer them with a hard-to-believe optionals list, including hydraulic brakes, halogen headlights and turn signals, different upholsteries, dome lights, cup holders and even solar-panels to recharge the batteries.
But enough with the trivia and go watch the short clip past the jump. Oh how much we wished that person filming would have used the phone correctly to film in a 16:9 format...
