Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
http://www.break.com/superbowl/fullthrottle.html
Super Bowl commercial for an energy drink, about half way through, yellow car with big black wing. Even though i like the commercial, I find that part kinda sucks. |

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
drifting has reached a new low because a 240 was used for one second in a commercial? that seems slightly illogical

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
What I meant was that someone actually thought of using it, this time it's just for a second cause they don't know how many people will relate to it, but soon it will be 5 seconds, then 10 then there will be Formula D commercials during the super bowl.

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
and the problem is???????????????????? Even if they were used....you would have to know what one is before you saw it. Its not like grandma is going to see it be like oooo a 240sx i want one....she'll be like wtf is this commercial and not even think twice about it.

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
i agree that drifting has not been what i expected in the us, in fact i hate it, therefore i dont go to formula d events...but sr20detpower does have some good points. The newcomers are always getting hated when they should probably be embraced and tolerated. I guess just ignore it if you dont like it. But, still, sr20detpower doesnt have the right to say what people should like or be 110% excited about, everyone has their own shit...

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
no offense slidestar, but SR does have a valid point here. I can honestly say that I was happy to see drifting in a commercial. Means it is slowly getting more main stream. I know theres those out there that like drifting, becuase they know more than others, and its "underground'ish" but if drifting goes more toward main stream, that just means that it will be easier to get events started in BFE, like here in South Dakota. Thanks to its publicity, we are having another Drift event here in SD later this year on 5-13! That makes me happy, as far as im concerned if people dont like drifting, or the fact that its going mainstream. fuck em', not like cops hating on imports is going to get any worse, besides were street racing is huge, so why not just enjoy the fact that Drifting is hopefully coming to a town near you.

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
mainstream drifting = more ricers, more dumb asses who think they can do it on mountain roads like initial d, more wrecks or innocents killed b/c of that which means cops cracking down on our types of cars, and for people with sr swaps that's bad news. And I beg to differ on the cops part, it can get worse, trust me....fuck mainstream and the media/hollywood,
am i the only person who likes how drifting used to be? guess so... Oh yes, and now we have a fast and the furious movie centered around drifting, whoopdeedoo for misrepresentation! |

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
yea and who the fuck cares anyways??? You guys do know drifting is super main stream in japan right??????? I hate hockey, because all the newbs like to watch it and follow it now. Fuck hockey.
The super bowl is gay. I liked it better before there was even a super bowl. Fuck football, its to mainstream now......

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
I agree with Skylinedrfiter for different reasons.
The main reason is because all the mainstream event fail hard. D1 is a huge joke in terms of whos winning. Formula D is too skittish to educate the fans so people only cheer on a pass or a wreck. People don't know much about it and the further it progresses the more rediculous it will be come. Formula D is cool in that its getting the drivers that need to be into D1 (which is a little more respectable). Its retarded in that its catering to retard mc jim bob pants and altering the judging system to where line, smoke and angle are taking a back seat to passes. It also sucks that to drift in the mainday you pretty much have to be seeded, which right now is pretty much the factory and tire sponser cars. Watch any sort of D1 video that some jerkoff fan boy didnt make and you'll see the privateers, those are the fun ones to watch. The thing that pisses me off the most is the people that cockride Tsuchiya. Every video I have seen of that guy has been shitty. He doesn't even particularly drift well compared to anyone else, he's probably carrying more speed or whatever but his angle and smoke is usually lame balls. |

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
Cool commercial. Can't hate on them for doing their research, they know what 240's are popular for. I'm sure most people that are some what into cars (imports) will know that too. How much will it affect 240s? None.
Heck, the people that see it and go "ooo i want dat!!" probably won't even know what it is. |

Re: Drifting/240SX has reached a new low
wow this thread is terrible. if drifting is to main stream and cops crack down on us fuck em drive in a legal manner u dont get in trouble or just be more selective about people u roll w/ and dont ride w/ stipid people keep you drift spots secret. its not a big deal as long as you arent stupid you will have no problems w/ cops. seriously just stop whining about it cause that commerical will have no effect on your life. drifting will become more popular i see it as a positive cause maybe when that happens i wont have to travel 6 hours if i want to go see a event

+1, but damn you really have to go 6 hours for drifting events? That sucks. Thats some 3rd world country shit, I would hope in America that you would be entitled at least that freedom. How close is, say, NASCAR?
