Very cool video, of a 600+ HP Ford Focus, doing what is called 'Gymkhana' (a race/drift/trick type of driving)...

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...

I might be talking up a river here, but it looked like the big long lever on his right was for putting it in and out of 4 wheel drive.

He did have some skill.

I think the lever was parking brake...locking rear wheels to induce skid

Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.
Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.
