Drifting isn't pointless, It is a life saving skill.

Nissan dominates the drift scene - Always has, always will.

This is a story about how drifting may have saves lives.

I was interested on a coupe in NC about three hours away.

I only google map his address and head out there.

My friend Steve-o and I kept turning the wrong way due to f***ity directions from a website not written from actual street signs.

So at one point we were headed the wrong way out of Zebmebulon, but didn't realize it for a bit. We see a guy mowing his lawn and decide to ask him directions.

We start slowing for the turn and Steve-o realizes that the car behind him is not slowing down, he rips the e-brake and makes the turn before I knew what was happening. I was all "Way to go Steve-o" and then he told me we almost got seriously rearended.

We turn around and when we pass the dude mowing the lawn who just has this look on his face

I am not advocating street drifting, but that was a possibly life saving moment.
