I don’t get the comparison…
I don't get the comparison, but this video is fun to watch. Enjoy.

The Smart Drift Car
While searching for a video on something totally different, I somehow came across this video.
Yup. That right there is a Smart car drifting with the big boys in Japan. Why anyone would want to is beyond me but it sure as hell amusing. It's a rear engine RWD drift car that's economical and environmentally friendly - well maybe not after you waste a couple tires during track day. Shooting flames from the exhaust probably doesn't help either.

Not going to spend much time talking politics, but who knew Cindy McCain, the wife of Presidential hopeful John McCain, has taken up a hobby that most of us all know about: DRIFTING. Her son, Jack, had introduced his mom to the motorsport through some videos and she took to it - Mom and son jumped on a plane to Japan to train with some pros (I wonder who...). They had their own drift team and even built a 240SX drift car and entered some events.
Man, I could never get my mom to like anything I did. Even this site here, she never took to it. Although, she found my strong point in amateur web design and had me set up her own homepage. Close enough I guess.
My Baby Is Back Home…
So, I've pretty much gone a month without having updated the site. For that I'm really sorry, I wish I could spend more time doing the stuff I want to do with the site. Then again, this is all just out of my spare time and this month I just felt I had none. =( I've been splitting my time at work between two locations and both are constantly on me so much that when I get home, I just don't want to do anything else but sleep. Then when the weekend hits, I'm off to another birthday party or going away party or "friends are in town, let's go party" party. So I've been running back and forth between here and there with little time spent online for most of the month. Anyhow, the good thing out of this month is that I finally got my car back. Yup, the S2K was in the shop for warranty work...apparently my car threw a CEL a couple weeks ago: low compression in the 2,3, & 4 cylinder. The culprit - a bent valve. Sucked. This car made driving so much fun that I'm glad it finally came back because I was really depressed when it came to driving. In honor of the return of my beloved S2K, Here's a fun S2K video with Tsuchiya behind the wheel...its another drift comparo between the S2K, RX7, and Silvia.
D1GP is this month!!!
Where have I been? Then again it's been a while since I've been to a D1 event. The first one was awesome in the sense it renewed some emotion I have about the import culture. Of course it was beaten to death with the JDM-tards and the Fast and Furious crowd...but still...watching cars slide across pavement is always fun...especially when you almost lose a hand to the rear end of Silvia while trying to take a picture of it. ;-P
