So im sitting in a computer lab here at Georgia Tech working on a project and from behind me I hear some people saying:

"is that a corolla?"

"No way it starts with a T! "

"Its... a Torolla! "

"yeah man ... He drives this piece of crap car... and he is a pizza delivery boy"

"is he a pizza delivery boy?"

"Yeah and he goes into the mountains to race... and he races Lancers and really cool cars"

These tool bags are talking about Initial D... if you haven't picked that up yet. They are completely butchering it. I couldn't believe it. They are computer nerds. I feel sad. Geez. Back to work.

Some of you are misinterpreting what I was saying. When did I ever have an elitist attitude about "knowing about this before them?"

They have no idea what they are talking about. Thats what my rant was about. In fact, I never even saw an initial D episode until about 3 months ago. I just hate idiots that think there are such things as "torrollas". Anyways... take it as you will Enzo and Seva

Well I just had a bad day and felt like playing YesWePromise.But maybe instead of just brushing them off as worthless nerds, maybe educate 'em? Impressing some kids with your knowledge and possibly gaining a couple of semi-friends in the process doesn't sound like a bad idea to me...

funny you guys mention ID.. I just finished watching the movie (i've now seen ever bit of Initial D, Yay for my level of JDM worthlessness!!)

Anyway.. Did takumi ever stick it to that mogi girl? It doesnt seem to be.. and thats sad. He shoulda gotten that Torolla rocking, Mountain passes have all kinda makeout spots. maybe she was put off by the pizza smell in his car. *shrug*

That weird psycho kid with teh GT4 celica is Mogi's first b/f that Takumi beat up in gym lockers that they showed in his memory in the first episode. I have noticed nerds and drifters slowly merging. I'm like equally into cars and computers and now alot of my computer/anime friends are watching initial D and buying 240s and FCs and trying to drift.

she dropped the sugar daddy and she hadn't talked to Miki (the guy in the GT4) for a long time and she didn't want anything to do with him when she did see him again.

Natsuki had a lot of life choices that were wrong, but she was trying to make up for them for Takumi. Kinda strange how the power of love can change a person. God I love that song.

Miki was the son of the sugar daddy, or a previous sugar daddy. They were both throwin' it to her.

Yes, Takumi lets her take a ride on the bone rollercoaster after graduation if you read the manga. The tv series didn't include that for obvious reasons.
