I was born in the 60s my friend. I kind of like to watch drifting-which is not the same as breaking it loose around a corner.

I'm 50 so...
Pro drifting takes talent and skill, I respect that.
Can't really call anything in FWD = drifting, it's only controlled skid at best.
Most folks have experienced understeer, fine for 95% of drivers, but it sux.
Learning to control oversteer (drifting) makes you a better driver.

All my opinions are track based only, higher level driving skills are for track or emergency use only. Street use only makes you look retarded.

Actually had it for about 7 months or so. Got it at Hollywood Video. But I hadn't had any pics of it till yesterday.

I think he's cool. And he's the only one that likes to ride in my car.

Only other place I posted him was GTAs thread.

How bout this, do people put their hazzards on when it rains where you live? Every time it rains in ATL, there is always at least someone who feels they must have their hazzards on. To me, they are the hazzard, thats why they have 'em on.

Oh man in virginia they do that all the time. It makes me want to ram them. It screams "hello Im a retard driving in the rain slower than dirt". Like they are the only ones who realise its raining.

I love watching the drifting competitions. Takes a lot of skill to back in a car around corners while keeping full control, switching drifts, etc. I know people who say it takes less skill to put pedal to the floor, point the wheel straight, go traight line for 10 seconds. oh oh

In the movie (2005) Dukes of Hazzard, the stunts were done by a drifting champion driving the 1970 Dodge Charger. numerous, constant drifting moves in the movie. one scene is pretty amazing, as the driver is simply going around in circles endlessly drifting.

I'm not talking about 16 year olds in a 98 civic using the e-brake on a wet parking lot.

I'm talking about a properly geared, RWD car with a balance of weight and power to do "proper" drifting.

Sorry but there is a huge difference in pimple faced dorks acting like ass hats, and true drifting.
+1. Drifting is becoming just as 'popular' as drag racing, circle track racing, road racing, rally, etc. I personally don't like it (and I'm born after 1980) and prefer drag racing.
