"wanna race?", says the punk in the VW

[APEXi240]

Actually I don't lack in the vehicle department, I lack in the FAST vehicle department, there is a difference.

I own a 99 Tacoma, and a 96 240. Oh yeah, I'm a student, bought everything myself, and have no career. Yeah you're right, thats why I'm 20 with a 3.0 gpa, and I manage a Pizzaria. What does it matter if I like to watch a little Law and Order.

I'll never own a bike. Living in the most densly populated state in the US can put a damper on that. I love bikes, but too many people I know have been seriously injured on bikes (getting hit, not doing stupid sh*t). I live 15 mins outside of NYC, driving at any time aside from 2-4am is just dangerous.

I never said that going to the track wasn't beneficial....I'll say it for the 4th f*cking time....I'm just saying to don't need to learn on a track.

Apexi is right you don't need to learn on a track...i think i should know. I have been on track, parking lots, street etc etc. the only real benefits to drifting track is....no tickets....and you can focus more on driving....

89,,,,,,,the kids that died racing......were not drifting.

one other thing, you are so against drifting....why is that? not just street drifting....drifting in generalto quote:

drifting is just plain DUMB. This isnt initial D, this is real life. What if you spin out and smash your car up, or get injured? Just dumb. And while some argue that street drag racing is dangerous, its no where near the level of drifting on public roads. And reading the rest of the story it doesnt sound like you really even raced, u did a rolling start and those dont count worth ****.

and what about this arguement that street drag racing is not dangerous? as i said before there isn't an arguement but obviously you street drag, that can be seen in you comments. those kids that died running into that tree were drag racers not drifters....how can you feel content arguing against drifting when you have no objections to street drag racing?

as Apexi and i have said many times in this thread drifting takes place at realitively low speeds.....drifting in not about speed, it's about style and skill. factors that rarely come into play drag racing.my position still does not change in this particulaur incident was much different than the normal circumstances in which we drift.and yes i drift on public roads, places where your mother would never be late at night.

we do try to be as safe as possible...i'm sure you can understand how that is possible.

ps. no need to get all wound up, i'm not dissing you...

okay so i skipped the second page. I have all of Initial D on DVD(including extra stage and Battle Stage), and have 1-12 of Fourth stage on computer and can burn them onto DVD format if anyone is interested. E-mail me and we can work something out.
