Not into track drifting, the whole "safety" thing doesnt do it for me.
Let the flaming continue.
Spoken like a true 18 year old. Look kid, you'll grow up and realize that it just isnt smart to drift in abandonded parking lots. It may feel safe when you get away without problems, but what happens when you hit a light pole and you cant get out of the car for some reason? Maybe the pole will hit at the drivers door and crush your leg in the car. If you are alone, who will know your hurt. Now thats just a general example and not saying that is going to happen but it could. Also, as some members here have already said, 2 runs at a track or sanctioned event in a parking lot somewhere with cones is much more beneficial to practicing then just drifting willy nilly around a parking lot just going wherever the car wants to go.Gcustoms wrote:hey man think what you want, to set the record straight i have no f'ing idea where i would even watch inital d... and to everyone else, you can shut up, im tired of being insulted because i have a different opinion than you. yes i would prefer to go to a mall parking lot at 3:00 am when its abandoned than have to pay for track time and conform to their regulations, thats my own opinion, yours is different and i respect that. i never said i hated track drifting, i really respect what those guys throw down when they run i respect their dedication to the sport, and i respect the cars their running. its almost as if one bad comment was read, and then it was exaggerated, and then that one was exaggerated, and that just went on for 2 pages and i just got tired of people telling me to get killed and that i should drive a civic (id die before i drove another one of those)so cmon people give it a rest.
sorry to say it dude, but that can happen on the track too... maybe not a lightpost but tires, walls, other cars in the train etc etc. nothings a guaranteeblacksrjdm wrote:

Essentially that is what you are doing in an empty parking lot. There is no suggested line in a parking lot to follow, you are just letting the car slide around aimlessly. Learn some skill, take it to the track, get rid of the High School "I know everything" mentality and be smart.
I never said that accidents dont happen at the track, to say that would be more idiotic than saying that you enjoy drifting in a parking lot over a sanctioned track event. Accidents happen probably more often at the track because of the higher speeds, more angle, and people tend to push the limit at the track. That is the reason there is normally an ambulance crew standing by and in some cases there is a fire dept crew avail if ness. At the track after an accident, the response time is almost nothing, and there are medical professionals there ready for something like that to happen. In your abandonded parking lot if you happen to be by yourself, and the impact knocks you out. U could possibly be there for hours, without medical attention, or anyone knowing that you have crashed you could very well die. Now those are the extreme, most times if you hit a light pole you can walk away from it, but what happens if you cant?Gcustoms wrote:sorry to say it dude, but that can happen on the track too... maybe not a lightpost but tires, walls, other cars in the train etc etc. nothings a guarantee
That wasnt really what i was saying at all... all i meant by it was i find it more interesting to watch people slide around a parking lot on their own dollar than watching people try at the track... to clear up what i just said im not some dumb kid who sees something on youtube and goes out and does it. id prefer to watch these upslidedown guys over multi-million dollar drift teams on a circle track. stuff like this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw2gJ1ASp2othis; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPWSQgJB0Fsor this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBSVqOc-CN4i cant stop watching.but i agree people who do stuff like this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9bkXoc86AY give imports a bad name that they cant erase.blacksrjdm wrote:

FYI...
Initial D is part of drifting history. It is an animated series, where a delivery driver has different driving escapades with japanese drivers on japanese mountain roads. It is the reason that some people got into rwd imports in the us and may not be a bad thing for ya to rent one or two episodes.
