I bet they used footage from a show promoting drifting to show the cars...
I broke a mirror this morning, which means I should be getting 7 years of bad luck - but my lawyer says he can get me 5.

As an ex-drag race enthusiast (yeah, street racing too, but at least 1,000 years ago in my dumb and wicked Brooklyn days), my thoughts are that drifting has GOT to be a lot more dangerous. Does anybody here know anything about the drifting mortality rate in J-land?

Sadly, I missed the memo that the fun was on for Oi wharf last weekend.
A several weekends ago I noticed from a 14th floor window that there a hell of a lot of cars gathered on Oi wharf after midnight and I was wondering what that was all about. :-(
