Initial D on ESPN2

[toki]

I didn't believe it, but I just saw the commercial myself. Initial D will be playing on ESPN2. They said "Takumi Fujiwara" so they arn't abreviating him to TAK or something. They didn't say the word drifting or mention it, only "street racing." Yeah. My 240 is about to go up in value 100%. Word to pop culture.

[UncleBen]

This sucks, but it is also good for us because the value will go up. But crap, I have a feeling there are going to be more wrecks and injuries from stupid morons going out to try and copy Takumi's driving skills. heh

[dr!ft]

At least they aren't going Bunta-style and driving with no sight...

[sideshow]

well i dont think blind drivers would be able to watch the show, because there seems to be a lack of blind drivers hahaha

[Rockenreno]

because there seems to be a lack of blind drivers hahaha

there also seems to be a lack of blind people who watch TV

Your sig is HUGE, POINTLESS, and UTTERLY GAY. Remove it or face my scorn. and my scorn is pretty scornfilled and scornufied.

[tinted]

this thread also does not belong in the 240 gen chat section

[sideshow]

mmmmmmmmmm scorn oh good god *mouth watering*, some people sigs are huge because they have pictures in it and u dont mind that? well if u have a problem with it dont read it, no one is holding u down making u read it

[toki]

tinted where does it belong? nico gen? so all the infinity people can flip thier giant lexus wannabes drifting or just not caring? This is where is belongs.

And sideshow I was i'de say...20% kidding, but, it's really huge, alot bigger than any sig with pictures. I read it once, and it's pointless. Atleast the pictures are funny.

[SmithSR]

Toki, that's some sharp criticism towards the Infiniti crowd... I can think of a few members that would take offense to such a comment, and maybe even fire off an insult at you. My guess is they will rise above it.

As for Initial D being on ESPN2, I say right on!! I'll be tuning in, when possible.

[toki]

anything i've seen from the inifinty 'crowd' warrents what I said. mostly they people who think lexus is gay because they can't afford one or that they are better than everyone because they have one, atleast from what i've seen. Hitman's Q is just about the only nice one i've seen.

edit: ok somehow i managed to post this in nico gen? i could have sworn i came through the 240sx.org portal. hm.

[SHIFT_Z]

Think people will see my Z31 and think its a Trueno, then go nuts, then bother me to drift it for them? I'd of course give in and drift anyways, but... daydreaming rules!

Holy crap!

You have GOT to be kidding. Can't afford a lexus???? **** a brand-new Infiniti Q45 with the premium package STARTS at 62,000 dollars my friend. Money is definitely not an issue here. Second, I'll race you 0-155 right now. Let's see who wins. I do not want this to turn into an Infiniti v. 240 debate because that's comparing apples and oranges but how dare you come into MY house and insult MY car when all I was doing was moving around general posts to make the 240 crowd happier about the content of their board.

Un-freakin-believable!

This after I spent countless hours slaving over articles for the Nissan crowd as well as the Infiniti crowd. Which one has more articles? Who edited every single article? ME, the Q45 owner you just bashed.

so when is this going to be airing on espn2?

[AZhitman]

Dude, you just stepped in it BIG TIME.

First of all, your comment about "wannabe's" shows your youthful ignorance. Find me an equal-year Lex that can perform like a Q and I'll buy you one. (I just soundly whupped the arse of a late 90's LS400 recently).

Second, there's no affordability issue here, son. They both have crap resale value.

Third, you're driving an 89 240. No disrespect intended (since that would be low, even for me) but you've never even DRIVEN a Q. So STFU.

Finally, thanks for the props on my car. But apparently you haven't seen Fred's 500hp Q w/NOS; Geoff's 95 with 18's, jefftrexler's 91 with the badass audio system, Brian's super-low mileage pristine twin 95's, Heath's clean first-gen, Jeff's pristine silver 94.... or any of the others (sorry if I left you out). There's VERY few beater Q's on this board, and EVERY ONE of them will hand you your arse in a race.

I think you owe someone an apology. Then I'll delete all this nonsense to keep the thread on track.

Did the animated series ever continue after the movie? I'd really like to see how Takumi and the Red Suns moved on together.

[DRT_240sx]

when does it air? i got every episode including stage 3 the movie.I hope they give us stage 4

[Meantime]

Why would ESPN2 show a (subtitled) anime about street racing?

It makes no sense. If the Cartoon Network passed up on Initial D, why the heck would the Deuce pick it up? Football season is just about to start and hockey's only 40 days away.

[toki]

Yeah, I know my 240 is slow, that's not news to me, I drive it.

The only infiniti I've DRIVIN is a J30, and while it was nice, it was like new car nice, not luxery nice, atleast to me.

Most infinitis just dont sit right with me. At all. There are tons of haters who bash on lexus from what i've seen in the Infin general also. Jesda inperticular, I used to think he was a female just from his constant *****ing and moaning, but I saw some post of his where he refered to himself in the masculin or something. Some Infinitis can be nice, most of them are not though in my eyes.

[toki]

Hitman: 1992 lexus SC400.

wow. i normally wouldn't point out spelling mistakes like a wang, but you've insulted me, and for God's sakes it's on the top in the logo, and everywhere else. Its I-N-F-I-N-I-T-I. And where the hell does a 240 owner get off talking about price?(no offense to you non-offensive 240 owners: Almost all Infinitis and 240s are a steal for their prices. If i hadnt gotten my car, i would have opted for the 240. It's a great car.)

And i definitely think i'm better than everyone. I can't wait to take my FWD car out drifting, and flip it over, cry, then say "If i had an ES300, this wouldn't have happened. Why can't i have parents that buy me everything i want, and have a Lexus?"

and on a lighter note, I don't see why ESPN2 picked it up either. But then again, maybe this will replace the horrendous Around the Horn.

note: In case you didn't pick up on it, That was all sarcasm regarding Toki's moronic comment about Infiniti owners. Let me just say this, seriously.

STEREOTYPING IS STUPID, BAD, AND RESULTS IN ANGER. DON'T DO IT.

[redrocket]

Toki why don't we get back on topic here about the initial D cause enquiring minds want to know about the D

[toki]

The commerical has no dates or times. Just vague information about Takumi being a Tofu Delivery Boy.

[SilviaLuvr]

watch out for those civics

[AZhitman]

I didn't see an apology - In fact, I saw more ignorant statements with little to no basis in fact.

I don't recall Jesda calling you out when you were "b1tching and moaning" (your words) about your dad and your misfortunes with your car.

I understand Fred just emailed you. Until we confer on your status, lay low.

I ain't kidding.
