. . .I rarey ever fishtail.. it's only happened 3 or 4 times in the year I've had my license . . .

Which is it? The best method is to slow down. I doubt if your mother wants to lose you at such a young age.

Wait a sec... you said you have auto 4X4? That means that when the rear wheels start to slip, power is automatically taken from them and transfered to the front. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to fishtail with auto 4X4 on pavement, it's going to take some talent.

Nah..actually it's pretty easy if you gas it enough...the back starts to slide before the front is engauged, and the front only "pulsates" in and out..in auto it's never constantly connected. Since the back was already sliding then it'll just keep sliding unless you let off the gas. i have pulled some nice doughnuts in 4AUTO before...
