Don't worry about qtiger, he's always grumpy - doesn't get enough nap time







I think thats pretty slick.

 

really cool man! major props on the courage and determination to pull off something like that. thats exactly what makes the world of car customizing more interesting. thinking out of the box is how it all evolves, good luck on your one of a kind ride.i dont really get the hater(s), whats it hurting them if you wanna drift the thing, more power to you, as long as you enjoy the car and drive the damn thing, pushing the limits. dont get discouraged by the bandwagoners who act like they are holier than thou, they have nothing positive to contribute, just criticism of how "rice" you are to them.

 

at least you aren't some kid ass sliding his teg talking about his great "dorifto" :bigok:

 

drifting is the
driving w/ a teg is the :bigok:

hope to see videos!

 

people may not respect the car for what it has become. however i do respect the car for the engineering accomplishment. not bad

 

Why did they do it?

Because they frickin can!

I think it's bad ass. Being different is coo .

 

I have no more of a problem with drifting as I do with say, freestyle snowboarding events. You can race a snowboard down a hill, or you can do tricks with it. You can race a car around a track (just so ya know Im@ge, qtiger is referring to drifting from the perspective of a road racer), or you can do tricks with a car. As long as people understand that it's doing tricks with a car and it's judged subjectively, fine by me.

The problem I have with drifting is that when people actually think that's the way you get around a track, or the way to properly set up a car for performance handling. It's not. It's how you do tricks, and set up a car to do tricks. Tricks do not equal fast. In Japan at least, people understand that drifting and road racing are two distinct ways of driving and setting up a car. Road racing is for going fast, drifting is for having fun. No problem.

Here in America we're so obsessed with the car show concept and the image of performance that drifting gets confounded as an actual measure of the performance of the car, just because it happens to be driving instead of sitting on a carpet. It's trick driving. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Trick driving it might be, but that doesn't mean that it's not cool...I personally think it's pretty badass.

 

ehehe yes, the anti-drifting bandwagon. Thanks for the laugh.

 

I guess I hadn't actually intended for my post to imply that trick driving isn't cool.

To clarify: it's just different from racing.
