Finally

I stumbled upon this video over at With Leather, and I just want to say it is great finding someone who loves drifting as much as I do. If you are unaware drifting has been a part of the Japanese culture for many, many, years. It is a tradition handed down from generation to generation. You would know that if you could speak japanese and understand what these clowns are actually saying. Since I am a fellow drifter I can say this, behold the perfect drift.

What a fascinating sport / fine art. I honestly think that somebody should make some full-length feature films, you know, intense dramas set in the amazing world of drifting.

That would be great.

Well TK this film does exist (Tokyo Drift) and it is absurd as the video clip. One of my favorite parts is when one of the lead characters is learning how to drift and he sucks. Then the flash to these old Japanese guys probably in there 60's, who start talking about how terrible the boys drifting skills are. The problem I really dont understand is how the hell are you supposed to drift with a 1955 Chevy Bel Air? I also love this great scene in which they are up in the mountains talking about the real reasons they learned how to drift. If only all your problems could be solved with a car race. With all that said, I often find myself drifting in abandoned parking structures.
