Oh I thought you meant the cool kind of drifter... like the kind that drifts from town to town. I want my 5 seconds back dammit!

I hate republicans but I'd pull her dentures out and gum rape her. :l

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

wow drifting originated in japan. news to me. lmao ------- losers

no one ever drifted their cars before japan did it ::)

people were "power sliding" when nips were still running around in sandals and tending goldfish

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

I heard Juan Valdez was "power sliding" his trusty mule, early in the moring, in the hills of Columbia long before the Otto engine was even invented. :8

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

Pretty much.

I remember being 5 years old (1976) in my dads 1968 Chevy half ton pickup that had a w-30 Olds 455 swapped in it with late model Camaro front running gear (big discs) and a late model posi rear end sliding around freeway cloverleafs at 50 MPH regularly... With the ever present pint of wild turkey under the seat and no less than 20 roaches in the ashtray...

The 455 came out of a Hurst Olds that some ------s had ripped off, robbed a bank, and ran into a pole in San francisco in like 1973-74... LOL.

As far as making it a competition... yeah I'd say Japan made it official. But it's gay no matter who invented it/innovated it.

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

I'm gonna have to go with that. Final anwser.

I'd vote her into office.

Hubby seems like a yuppie.

Why the ---- is straight line acceleration the pinacle of motorsports on this site?

Dont get me wrong, i love drag racing (theres a track where cars from tubbed novas to top fuel funny cars to ricers run not far from my house, i also live close to darlington and lowes motor speedway and watch the drags when i get a chance), but drifting is a driver's sport. So are togue battles for those of you that watch jdm option, youtube or ricer mags.

Drifting is the only sport where a 600hp supra can lose to a 180hp corolla. It's all the driver, not hp. Yeah, hp plays a role but you can't stick somebody who's been dragging all their life to compete with the likes of rhys millen (i hope he's doing better btw) in a sideways race.

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

your moms assfat races pretty well when i pound it sideways

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

Drifting is kind of fun to watch and it's always a blast to get in a vehicle and rail it to the ragged edge, but I wouldn't call it a sport. More of a hobby. Reason being, if it were the most efficient and fastest way to race, Formula One teams would be doing it.


cliffs: Drifting = Fun to do and looks cool in movies, yes . Legitimate sport, no.

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

Its a "sport" and a sport. Takes balls to rip the ebrake at 160mph and handle the ride 8)
Formula 1 no longer uses skid control.. if you are real good and start hooking up with sponsors , getting paid to drift then its a sport and a hobby ,

with a ZC and she eats orange chicken. She is also a lurker of HMT. O0 Yup. Cindy McCain is a nog. :y

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

i stand by my word



drifting is the figure skating of the motor"sports" world. i does take talent....but anything that requires a judges score....i dont call a sport.

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

I've never seen a drifter go over 70 mph.

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

please god show me someone ripping the ebrake at 160.........i dont care what the skill is and in what car.....thats uncontrollable......and then prompt flippage

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

All im saying is it takes skills to drift like that , maybe not 160 but at least 100mph /160km/ph into the first corner.

na mike?

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

Can we please not have a drifting thread in here? This place is kind of my haven from gay jdm drifter boy ----.

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

not me man, i'm not a fag drifter.
drifting has it's place and a race track is not it.

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

seriously. The reason that it's so unpopular is the same reason why figure skating is unpopular. Anybody can walk out side grab a soccer ball and kick it around, which is why its the number 1 sport in the world. Sure they're not going to be full English premier league status, but they'll have fun. Just like any two people at a red light can both mash on the gas and gun it. They may not have full Vin Diesel 10 second car status, but they'll have fun. Both figure skating and drifting require hours and hours of time and dollar and dollars of equipment. they lack the accessibility of soccer or drag racing which is why they SUCK! :y

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

you're exaggerating a tad. drifting is not really that hard, any hillbilly with a v8 and a 4 speed does it all the time.

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

+1
cept i do it with a 2 speed

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

circuit/road racing is where it's at.

Combines car power with driver skill.

Drifting is a waste of good tires.

Well played, kind sir! Well played. :)

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

dude whats your problem with japan being credited with drifting?
i mean yeah people have always driven hard in to corners and had the assend hang out on the way out of the corner but it was done with no style,no finesse,or even any intention
it was just a product of going in a corner to fast with to much throttle but japan turned that in to somthing of an art witch requires high levels of skill,ballance,and reactions to truely to it right drifting is not just going in to a corner and putting your foot down until it spins the tires and slides a bit
and done correctly you can drift a slow car arround a track faster than you can "grip" drive it arround the same track

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

Wrong, wrong, and wrong.

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

typical ricer

Re: i'm sure everyone already knows that McCain's wife is a drifter?
 

I credit rosko chasing them danged ol' Duke boys for creation of drifting
