Drifting FD on CBS News Tonight

The CBS Evening News did a report on drifting tonight and showed several shots of a blue-green FD drifting in Long Beach. I think there was also a white 3rd Gen RX-7, but the shot went by too fast for me to get a good look. If you're in one of the western time zones you might read this in time to see for yourself. It was a pretty good piece.

I hate drifting. But It's kinda cool that our cars are getting more coverage. Maybe the KBB value will go up again.
