but ghost, you gotta think of the people he coulda hurt doing that sorta shit. what if it was your little brother? what if it was anyone in your family?

he says " Just wanted to let all the inexperienced rear wheel drivers out there know not to try any racing moves in the city...I learned the hard way"

does he think hes experianced from that? does he think hes a pro now? the way he talks and acts, he probably goes around saying that his messed up car isnt messed up, but has "battle scars" and other dumb ricer crap.

drifting isnt for the open road. nor is it for the road at all. its for tracks and places miles away from innocent people that couldget hurt by morons like this dude. some kid from my school died because a racing camaro. he was gonna go to florida to play football. now hes 6 feet under cause some dumb ass ricer has the same mentality as this wannabe drifter. life isnt something to play around with is all im saying.

I agree with everything TheLogikal1 is saying... Im am not going to lie, and say I haven't gunned it while exiting a turn... but not in a crowed area nor were there other cars around... I did it in a place where there were no cars on the street at the time and there were no obstacles to hit. Either way I did not lose control, but I realized that it is not worth fucking up my car just to "Act a fool" as Ludacris says...

HE WACKED A TELEPHONE POLE THEN SOME ONE RAMED HIM FROM THE BACK

That's funny, how can you drift in a FWD Passat?

Where did you get those pics/story from?

[Corupt_govt]

hey Logical you can stfu, I'm not a fucking ricer, nor do i go around saying the shit is battle scars. The only reason I posted is to warn anyone else that might some day do what I did. And i could care less for your sympothy. For christ sake, i just got the car a week ago and was testing it out, i know it was stupid, but i never claimed to be a drift king. All you assholes who try to atatch the name "rice" on every person you see who makes a mistake or tries something they like can go fuck yourselves.

no one calls themselves a ricer, but you are. you think your not a ricer, but you said it yourself, you got the car a week ago. now youre doing dumbshit. im sure everyone agrees that your a moron for doing that.

THERES NO NEED TO WARN US. WERE NOT MORONS.

"testing it out"?? wtf is that suposed to mean? it means you were being reckless you f*ckin dumbass. just cause you dont have a honda, doesnt mean your automatically not a ricer. i hate people like you that treats cars as toys.

i treat my car as a toy, but i know that that toy is 2700 lbs and has fatal killing potential. so dont give me this shit about you not being stupid. cause you are.

moron

logikal shut the fuck up with the ricer crap. u have no reason to call him a ricer. would a person who dragged down the street and lost control at 120 be considered a ricer... NO!!! cause thats not what ricer is determined by...

it has nothing to do with him trying to slide (notice how i didnt say drift) around a corner.

sure, it was a stupid thing to do, and sure, some pregnant woman with a carriage or an old lady could have been sitting there, but that doesnt mean he's a fuckin ricer..

god, this ricer stuff is getting so stupid..
pretty soon driving is gonna make someone a ricer.

Anyone who street races is plain retarded. ESPECIALLY drifting. Take it to the track.

Ok, a stoplight grandprix is cool, cuz you know your not gonna majorly speed, and you both will back off at the next intersection, but really, STREET DRIFTING???

This isnt Japan, where the cops block the streets off for you, its a crowded intersection IN THE RAIN with an RWD car.

Thats not being a ricer. Thats a total lack of common sense. I know you learnt your lesson corrupt, but this is the reason some of us are such "haters" when 16 year olds(I donno how old you are) go try this shit cuz they saw it on Initial D, and end up killing people.

[DoriftoSX]

i agree this has nothing to do with being a ricer....i don't even know how that came up?...


I practice drifting on the street i'm not going to even lie to you but i wait till say 2am and go out with a friend to do it in a deserted part of town where the streets are atleast 3 lanes wide..does this make me a moron?..if so..then fuck it i'll be one

yes i know this isn't japan but i bet you money all those videos of japanese drifting the cops didn't block off the roads everytime..and i bet they can drift the hell out of a car better than most the people on this board..but does this make them morons too?

[Dorikin]

No.

They know how to control the car. And some of the drifting you see is at a place in iwakuni called the docks, where its a HUGE open space near some docks, where pedestrians arent allowed, but cars are, therefore it makes a good drifting spot.

Street drifting in Japan is different...the roads there dont always have sidewalks...I donno if youve seen the Movie Ronin, but in the 2nd car chase, where there in France, and before the get on the freeway, they go through some big 4 lane roads with no sidewalks,

Well, in the vids I have, thats what its like, cept there are K-Rails to stop the cars.

Drifting on the street is just a bad idea.

When this happens and people are injured or die, our sport will die with it. This will be our downfall

You people can just stop your personal attacks on this guy.. The guy is coming on here saying he made a mistake, doing something stupid, and we should take his misfortune as a further example not to do this sort of thing.... especially where there may be civilians that could be hurt, or obstcles that could hurt us...

Park benches don't make good Pylons, huh?


I did a very similar thing the day after i got my Caprice (ex-police car, strong small-block 350 interceptor package with posi-trac) when i was 16. I pulled out of one road making a left turn onto another road in the rain... the road was off camber and i gave the car too much throttle putting the back end of the car into the ditch.. i almost hit a telephone pole.. I corrected, tapped the brakes to slow the tire spin and then punched throttle again to push me out of the ditch... essentially text book response. I was so scared i don't know how i did it... But i did, I got out of the ditch with my car unscathed... I killed a couple cat-tails.

[DoriftoSX]

i agree about drifting on the street is bad...but when the closest track to you is a nascar track 4hrs away then you have to make do and i don't just go out bullshiting i make sure no one is around its it that i try to make it as safe as possible.

Try renting a parking lot or industrial lot or something. There must be an auto-x or something.

What about roadtripping to Road Atlanta?

i didn't know you could rent parking lots or industrial lots...anyways most of (parking lots)them around here have WAY to many light post with like a 5' concret barrier around them..and i'm to scared to go drifting around them...

As far as going to road atlanta most of my friends don't understand "why i waste my tires" as they call it..*sigh* they have never been sideways through a turn maybe after a few hundred more "learning" turns i will be able to take them out for a go around..but for right now i wont take the chance.

maybe if i ever meet Fliqer? sometime i'm in raleigh we could get something up..

[Suislide]

well, first of all, everyone is right. drifting on the street is dangerous and stupid when it's a busy time of day and/or in a busy section of town, no matter what time. if you're in a super-deserted part of town at 2AM and you drift once or twice, that's not so bad. throwing your rear end out IN THE RAIN in a busy part of town is just plain stupid. you may as well walk up to a sleeping bear, put your dick in his mouth and kick him and see what happens. the same amount of brain-power would be involved.

on that note, everyone needs to LAY OFF! see how i just talked to him? i didn't resort to swearing or calling him names, i simply laid it out for him in plain, restrained english. you all have a right to your opinion, but seriousley, what is attacking him going to do? he knows he was in the wrong (even though it was SERIOUSLEY stupid), so what more needs to be said? this thread is BARELY staying open, so keep it clean.

[dayna240sx]

isn't that almost exactly what i said, 2 hours ago...


you guys should make me a moderator
