The U.S. Marine Forces of Europe and Africa posted a video to Facebook [showing soldiers performing the famous auto stunt](https://www.facebook.com/USMCFEA/videos/vb.119944541354338/1300848159930631/?type=2&theater) in an M1A1 Abrams and an Amphibious Assault Vehicles on in ice in Rena, Norway. Drifting, made especially famous by the [_Fast and Furious_](http://time.com/4074632/vin-diesel-fast-and-furious-new-york/) film franchise, is a driving technique where a driver intentionally oversteers the vehicle when approaching a corner, causing the car to slide while still maintaining control. The Marines learned the skill from their friends in the Norwegian Army, according to the post on Facebook.
