I seriously can't wait till they kill themselves or injure/kill other people. Drifting looks kewl and all but sometimes when it's taken to the extreme like in this video, it's dangerous.

say no to drifting!

[mis-u-jerr]

That's crazeee. That clown in the green gloves reminds me of a rodeo clown...
I was at Tower (Books) yesterday and saw a whole magazine dedicated to drifting...
Also saw a british car mag that had an article on the front man of Jamaroqui and his ENZO! Didn't know that band was that popular that the guy could afford a $700K car...:confused:

holy wtf

[schaltwerk]

That's really gay. That's an abuse of cars and being completely retarded behind the steering wheel. I am not sure how this
"drifting" thing has turned into some type of entertainment.

That's up there with putting your girlfriends cat in the microwave, and trying to blow a flame out of your ass
after a recent trip to Taco Bell and a cheap Bic lighter..

Abuse of cars? Can't wait till they kill themselves? WTF? Is this HATE NIGHT? Ok, first, these guys are world famous drifters, I mean, the guy in the Red SC400, or Soarer, he spend over $60,000 in just lightening the weight of the car and it was recently featured in Super Street Mag, a US mag. These guys take tuning to an ART FORM. The cars have endless hours of setup for this sport and it is really a sport in Japan with many many techniques and setups. The drifters are stars in Japan.

As for killing themselves, to my knowledge this has not happened, especially for professional drifters AS SEEN IN THIS VIDEO, hell, you see more speed and car contact in NASCAR than drifting. When you think they are being dangerous, they are really not in any danger at all because of their training. I don't get you guys.

all I can say is they were driving crazy good with full control of the cars at all times. except maybe the guy with the green gloves that flopped outta his car, but he was goin off.

Drifting is a techniques used in some races...not to show off to young people like this. Say your stopped at a light and some crazy wannabe drifter comes through the intersection and nails you because he was trying to do what the professionals do? (I knew a few people who passed away due to drunk drivers and crazy speeder/drivers). BTW, I don't consider them professionals. Professionals don't abuse thier skills in a reckless manner. I'd call them clowns (hahaha)

I'm not hating drifting actually.I'm just hating the recklessness.

Money doesn't = everything. He spent $60K modding a car but he will never be able buy back someone's life.

Please read this in a calm manner. I'm not angry or anything. :D :D :D

Initial D.

Add: Also, I'd like to say that I think they seem very professional and controlled in that video. It's kinda like Evel Knievel. Stunts and tricks that are very dangerous but still set in a controlled environment... It's not like these were the Oakland sideshows or something like that... <--- those are reckless.

They do stunt shows all the time whether it's motorbikes or even jets (Blue Angels). So if they're professionals then I'm fine with it.

[timc]

that indeed is some crazy drifting...

It is on a track i don't really see any problem with that... On the street that is another story..
