GOD DAMNIT WHY???

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Indie director Justin Lin has jumped in the driver's seat for the third film in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise.
Lin, who established himself on the independent film scene with 2002's "Better Luck Tomorrow," will shoot the sequel to Universal's two previous car race movies in the fall on locations in the U.S. and Asia.
The new film -- tentatively titled "The Fast and the Furious 3" -- will be set in Tokyo amid the underground world of Japanese drift racing. Its plot centers on Shaun Boswell, who, to avoid jail, goes to live with his uncle, a military officer, in a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo.
The first "Fast" movie, directed by Rob Cohen and released in 2001, grossed $207 million worldwide. Its sequel, "2 Fast 2 Furious," directed by John Singleton and released in 2003, took in $236 million worldwide. Together, both DVD titles have sold more than 20 million units.
Lin -- who was born in Taiwan, and raised in southern California -- directed, co-wrote and was one of the producers of "Better Luck Tomorrow," which revolved around Asian-American high school seniors who embark on a crime spree. He is in postproduction on Disney's "Annapolis," starring James Franco, Tyrese Gibson and Jordana Brewster, which is scheduled for a fall release.

It was just a matter of time until the third came out.. I knew about the story about a year ago. Kain, get that RX-7 body kitted up and painted flagrantly gay colors. After that movie's out your car will be golden. 
Also, is frank the "military officer" in the movie? Ricer! :P

we're boned. driftin is only known amoung actual car enthusiats. not 12 yr olds who want a skyline when they're 16- and will actually get a 88 4dr accord :P
im going to guess, prices for 240's and rx-7's will jump up, and im hoping and praying because the AE86 is so old they'll leave it be. after all, all the cool street racers drive brand new cars
