Ice Age Continental Drift

'Twas another short week on Watch What Happens Live!, but what they lacked in quantity, they more than made up for in quality. In the clubhouse on Sunday, we saw the return of Sheree Whitfield, accompanied by Glee star Matthew Morrison. RHOC's Gretchen Rossi and The Today Show host Willie Geist giggled it up on Monday, followed by Wendy Williams flying solo on Tuesday. Closing out the (short week) on Wednesday, was Dream Team of all Dream Teams, Inside Amy Schumer comedian Amy Schumer and Scandal's Sam Goldwyn.  OK! News: Read Last Week's WWHL Recap  But like every week it is our duty (hehe, duty) to break down the best and worst moments that go down in that teeny tiny TV studio in NYC. Here goes:  Sunday Best: Andy Cohen trying to break dance (and almost breaking a wrist).  OK! News: 10 New Songs We're Obsessed With Because of Glee Sunday Worst: Sheree trying to convince us that "Chateau Sheree" will actually happen. (Seems to be a "fetch" situation, if you get our drift.) OK! Investigates: Teen Mom 2 Star is Flat Broke Monday Best: Learning all it takes to get skin as baby soft as Willie Geist's is a lifetime supply of Oil of Olay.  OK! News: Savannah Guthrie is Engaged! Monday Worst:  Gretchen choosing "wild" as an option in the "Las Ve-Guess" game. (Although Andy's reaction came in a close second in the "Best" category. OK! News: Meet Bravo's Newest Real Estate Star Tuesday Best: This interview was basically OK!'s Google+ Hangout with Wendy Williams Part 2! OK! News: Wendy Williams Makes a Prediction about Kim And Kanye Tuesday Worst: The sadness we feel to learn that these are not real Bravo spinoffs.    WATCH: Rebel Wilson's New ABC Sitcom Trailer Wednesday Best: SCANDAL FAN FICTION (so good, it has to be in all caps): OK! News: Why We Love Amy Schumer Wednesday Worst: Sam Goldwyn not knowing what motor-boating is. Come on, Prez—haven't you ever seen Wedding Crashers? So that's that.

That was broken in February of this year by Abdo Feghali in Abu Dhabi drifting a new Chevrolet Camaro around a skidpad for 11,180 meters - almost seven miles. In March, BMW decided it wanted the record "back in the US," and set up a course at its BMW Performance Driving School near Greenville, South Carolina to get the job done. On May, 11 it was Mission Accomplished when Performance Center driver Johan Schwartz drifted an M5 around a skidpad continuously for 51.3 miles. Despite that accomplishment, we're pretty sure that professional drifter Vaughn Gittin, Jr. isn't impressed. The way Guinness defines "drifting" can also describe a donut, which is effectively the kind of drifting that's been done for these last three records. BMW went even further by watering down the surface of the track, reducing the skill required and the need to change tires during the effort. On the other hand, you can't drift a car for long in a straight line, but perhaps there should be some clarification or classifications added to the milestones. There's a short video below taken during the record-breaking run, and a press release from the company that did it.Continue reading BMW sets Guinness record for longest drift with new M5 [w/video]BMW sets Guinness record for longest drift with new M5 [w/video] originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 15 May 2013 13:00:00 EST.
