Drifting is Stupid Thread - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

being gay: hideous wheel gaps, v8's, fake parts, going "pro", and ugly cars.

drifting: having fun, looking like a badass, dragging aero on the ground, cool wheels, and the best looking cars.

some people just cannot grasp the concept.

top ten reasons drifting sucks in america:

10. people call it the "scene".

Freddy · 03-01-2010, 12:37 AM

9. people take it too seriously

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 03-01-2010, 12:37 AM

the classic porsche scene is much like what i want 240s to become... everyone is more chilled out and focused on getting things done right... (check out pelicanparts.com forum) not flashing around with loud ass pipes and slapping overfenders onto drift-damaged rear quarters rather then learning bodywork and welding in good metal.

Ok again this is better and I applaud you for putting some real feelings into and thoughts into what you were trying to say.

I think a better statement would have been "I think the drifting craze has fucked up how our cars are viewed".

Its funny too, because back in the day we could not even get respect for our cars. People would be like oh why do you car about that old Nissan. LOL

Then it was like wow you are into those cars. Then it became wow do you drift? I drift blah blah blah.
Then it was every high school kid this side of the sun buying the cars and fucking them up. Half painted, primered grey. Shitty body kits. etc....

So I understand now how you really feel and can't blame you. Cannot say I don't feel the same way to a certain extent.

The difference is I have realized for the most part its not going to go the way of say the Porsche scene.

The cars are too inexpensive and due to Nissan's failure of marketing them properly here in the states of fear of affecting Z32 sales its just not there.

Even though Magazines like Super Street listed them as one of the top ten tuner cars of all time. If that is worth anything. LOL

Do not worry, thanks to Vaughn Gittin Jr. and viral Ford marketing all drifting enthusiasts will be driving Mustangs soon.

Also, the worst of the worst trends (hoods covered in stickers, goofy colored wheels, etc.) that were plaguing the 240SX 'scene' have been moving into the Euro ''scene,'' mainly BMW's, which are getting cheap and becoming the new hip nonconformist bandwagon car.

Recently the 240SX ''''''scene'''''' seems to be on an upturn, albeit a slight one, but an upturn nonetheless. At least that is what I have observed, through my spyglass, yarrr.

hahahha

aaah. the drift scene...

JayDee M Rolly · 03-01-2010, 01:42 AM

Time Attack is like having sex to produce children, you are doing it for a true purpose and producing rock solid results.

Drifting is like fucking to fuck, because you love it and it feels so damn good.

Drifting is like the ballet of motorsports.

Yes, it is all about exhibition.

What about skateboarding? Snowboarding? Biking? etc its all judged on performance looks, consistency, etc.

I love drifting its fantastic.

Especially with friends and what not, rad environment.

I hate hardparkers, and people that think they need power to drift. and people on the street that randomly say Hey what do you have in there? sr?

or if i drift

what not.

stupid ass questions that either dont matter whatsoever, or questions that are clearly obviously answered.

whatever.

continue thread.

tricky_ab · 03-01-2010, 07:23 AM

I just hate missile cars...Continue with your conversations...

murda-c · 03-01-2010, 07:41 AM

maybe these people asking if you drift enjoy drifting and would like to find other people who have common interests? I dunno...

FACT: Most people don't even know what drifting is.

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 03-01-2010, 09:13 AM
