Cobalts kinda suck.
 

Well, like everything its the driver that matters the most. I was kinda angry tonight when i went out driving, which was due to the fact that i broke up with my girlfriend. Anyway, I live in Washington, Gig Harbor, which is where all the little boys and girls have there mommy and daddy's buy them there BMW and such. And its quite "foresty" (a lot of curvy roads with trees close by) roads seem to be fairly nice for racing and drifting. (its just an idea, Im not saying street racing is smart, its stupid) So being the angered driver that I am, whats better than getting in your RX7 and driving carefully yet over the speed limit. Oh and one more thing, the streets were quite empty tonight due to Thanksgiving and its a weekday. So I was driving and driving and driving and stopped at a stop sign, and then out of somewhere a red Cobalt whizzed by me.:scared: Oh no. So i pulled out and made my way down on his ass after a few minutes, gradually pulling on him through the straights and the curves. Knowing the corner up ahead pretty well, it was a long sweeping corner perfect for a transition drift around him. It had rained the night before last so there was a little wetness on the ground and we shoulder to shoulder as i started my turn popped the clutch and away I was drifting beautifully around him.:sadwavey: I gave him one of those and he gave me :Wconfused . I finished the drift nearly shitting my pants in happiness and fright, and he gave me a courtesy wave. Up ahead was a stop light so we both stopped and he pulled up next to me and said"Damn. You got me". I said" It was just luck":lol: Any way theres my Cobalt story. (Good luck to everyone and DONT street race!):icon_no2:

we need to ban initial d.....

:rlaugh: I wonder if he got the dudes number, Tokyo Drift style.

^--:rofl:
People like you make me want to get rid of my FD. :icon_no2:

The worst part is, you'll probably put the car out of its misery before you do the same to yourself. Buy a fucking 240 if you want to be a retard.

get a life.

sounds like it was fun. im not a fan of street drifting anymore. but be careful and think about this kinda stuff before you do it.

it would have been a bad turkey day if a car had come around that sweeping turn or a deer jumped out or even a tire blow out. theres just no telling what can happen during a drift. thats why i dont do it on the streets anymore.

I bet you have replayed that story in your head soo many times, you actually believe it. I bet you thought you were going to get a lot of cool points for posting this....


I've never watched Initial D, but apparently it's turned our youth into a bunch of fags. Drifting was cool in the early '90s.... in Japan..... give it up.

oh just wait. the average initial D age will be getting their license in the next 2 years. thats when the shit will hit the fan.

yea i still like inital D but i keep drifting for the track thats why i bough a 240SX. RX-7s are ncie and all but if you want to drift a 240SX is realy the better option. the RX-7 makes a better grip racing car.

I think we could use more stories like this in the forums. It's a breath of fresh air to the drag kills. No offense to anyone, it's just cool to hear something other than
rx-7 vs. x car outrun because rx-7's are more than just drag cars. We also need stories from the autoXers and others out there.

That being said, good "kill". Did the Cobalt know that you were racing him, or did you just zip by him? Also, what mods, if any?

Firstly, good kill! To be honest, a base Cobalt vs. an FC in a drag is very much a driver's race. To race him on twisties, you have an advantage, but it will still come down to driving ability. I applaud you on your ability to drift, especially well enough (or luckily enough) to drift your way into an overtake.

Now, having said that, don't you think that the RX7 would've smoked him harder if you had managed to grip through the turn? I suppose you could say that drift adds insult to injury, tho; lets him know that he's driving the wrong wheels, gives a nice little :flipoff:

eh, it sounds like the Cobalt was playing around to start off with... I'm of the mindset that you come upon someone who is playing around in their car, and you feel the need to play around, then the other party is under some sort of pressure to go at it with ya.

**EDIT**
I just wanted to add, while drifting on public streets is a bad idea, y'all need to end this talk of "RX7 is a bad drift car" :squint: f'real. Yes, it is true that a Silvia is an easier car to drift. Yes, it's true that drifting is (at least in most cases) not the best way to race in a 7. HOWEVER, a 7 is a respectable car for drift, one which takes a mature foot to maintain proper control with. If this guy drifts like he says he does, he is to be praised for having that ability.

still, drift+street=bad :suspect:

freaking newbs. Does he give you a reach around for being a good little boy?

Drifting isn't respectable in any sense of the word.

"Occupation:
Full time college student."

Figures.

Why were you the angry one? if you got rid of the bitch you should be happy and going out to find a little of the tasty strange... so i call BS on that you broke up with her... lol

Word son.

Word.

Umm I dont see why there is a kill section if people hate street racing soo much, I know theres more than street racing but A story is a story and the guy said the street was empty, I respected him, rather than the a**es who race with a highway full of traffic. But nice story bro. Um yea street racing is kinda stupid

Street drifting is quite a bit different than street racing.

lmao! Im glad I missed that negativity train you are on!

people like you make me gratefull for the fact that I live in a free country, that I make stupid amounts of $$ so I can own a beautifull fast car like an FD, and most of all Im gratefull that everyone can tell f**king awesome stories like that and get props from people like me cause that was a wicked cool story!

Im gonna go rip down a highway just cause of that story! You rock!

ps. sucks about the bad break-up if thats what it was. But with driving like that Im sure you'll at least get some head to curb your apatite between glfs! lol

you are a tool bag. if someone did this to me i would smack them silly. whats wrong with you?

If you're going to talk and act like this, you might want to reconsider putting a Bible verse in your sig. You're not exactly setting a good example, bro.

:cool: thank you for pointing out something I'd never taken in to account before. Why don't you not worry about me and worry more about some moron kid drifting into your wifes minivan with your 6month old daughter in the back seat.

Plus motherfuckingone. If you/an idiot like the OP ever hits my wife while she's driving.................. I swear to Christ I would hunt you down and murder you and your mom. Seriously. :icon_tup:

wow. this is the first time i've ever heard of death threats in the kills section lol

Believe it! :)

Tokyo Drift and Need for Speed are not reality...

This is a classic moment in history. Newb posts his "Street drifting" story and instantly gets flamed for being "gay" by all the RX-7 owners that know what they're talking about. Then a horde of "drifters"(ravenous canibals who can't tune, can't drive, and smell bad and patrol any curvy mountain road looking for "kills") tell the real RX-7 tuners that racing is bad and Drifting is what life is all about, and if you don't like it then, dammit, I'm telling mommy. NOW come the part where we all throw our heads back and laugh. Ready...

Ready!

:rlaugh: :rlaugh: :lol: :rlaugh: :lol2: :rlaugh: :lol: :rlaugh: :rlaugh:

I second this. SLO, good luck with the car/shop fiasco.

WOW. I got flamed. Seems like Dial8 said it right. I sorry that i did my first reckless act in my car, but dont even think for a second that all you flamers have never done that. I JUST GOT MY CAR!! Jesus the nerve of you people, its like going to a bar taking a drink of a beer and then all the people in the bar start yelling at you cuz your like "the next drunk". WTF? My apologies for telling a story, but as i expressed in it i said it is not smart to street race/drift AT ALL! So because it made you feel better about saying inadequately horrid remarks, i guess you can sleep tonight knowing that you"PWNED a NEWB". Sorry for taking up space but maybe you guys can grow a fuckling conscience and say nice things.:icon_no2:

nice thinking!!!! but I doubt that will happen. lol


there are some a holes on here ,but most of em arent as bad as they try to make them selves out to be. if that makes any sense. lol

It's not about "pwnd a n00b", it's about reckless driving. I'm a n00b to these forums, which for what it's worth... who gives a shit what people on an internet vBulletin think. All that aside, it's about being a responsible individual/driver/member of this community.

I don't know you, but I don't want you to die or WORSE; kill an innocent individual because you wanted to be cool in teh 7. Here's an outline of what I think went wrong in your post IMHO:

1. Your story sounds like it was from a comic book. No biggee, a lot of teenagers dream of stuff like that. Which leads me to

2. I'm 24 and have been around the block a lot. I'm married now and successful. Our guys (the older guys and/or mature audience) tend not to think about your 'sweet sideways line' thru the turn, but about the innocent people that could be hurt by your race-track driving. I said what I said half-heartedly, but if it were reality, you had better believe I'd be 100% willing to kill.

3. Regardless of the opinions of "7 is exotic and rare" to "7 is a POS turd" to "7 is now the new Civic/240SX", this community generally prides itself on being "above" ricer standards. Whether that is true; I have evidence to argue both. Your post was exactly what a lot of 7 drivers try to not be. A typical "kid" out doing stupid stuff in their car.

4. No matter how big a bunch off assholes this community can be (I'm a big one, ask my wife), nobody wants to see senseless death. Did you see the thread with the fatal crash in Canada involving an FD? It's still sad. Nobody knows what happened, but I bet that owner was NOT driving in a manner which lends itself to safety. Look at Nick Hogan; a Fail POS.

Dude, just pay the track fees. Whether it be "Drifting" or "Grip Driving/Racing"; it's best left to a sanctioned place. Don't be that guy with a Civic hatch drifting (aka donuts) at the strip mall. It's just not cool. Be safe! :cool:

Actaully I was just fucking around, I drank too much tea this morning. Archie said it best. Yeah I know everyone on here including RETed, Ice Mark, Valkerie and all the other great posters have done some dumb stuff. I like driving in mountains, and don't care what people say about. But then I stay in my lane, don't drift('cause I think drifting is:gay: ), and I go to have fun and enjoy the car. All that goofy shit you did no matter how much I don't like it belongs on the track not a public road. It doesn't matter if you don't advocate street racing, you still fucked around and expected us to pat you on the back. Mahzdah, no hard feelings, but next time look before you leap. Things like this have happened many times before, and a quick glance at last weeks posts would have revealed it.

But it could have been worse, you could have ended up like this guy;)

And i digress...

By the way Subaru Motorsport, is SUMO:rlaugh:

Thanks bro. Seems like everything I touch these days turns into a fiasco. :rofl:

On the bright side, Rich called tonight and it looks like they are just about done.
You sure did. Welcome to the forum and learn how to drive :icon_tup:

And no, all of us don't drive like idiots when we first bought our cars, some of us take some time to learn how the car drives and reacts.

Are you pushing 19 PSI on your stick twins yet? you haven't really lived until you've blown your engine and turbos at the same time :D

Shhhhhhhhhh!! Why are you giving all the secrets out to all the new guys?? Besides, 19 PSI on stock twins is super funtastic and reliable. :uhh:

Thread save!

Terminator 2: The Superfantastic Musical!

:rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh:

:lol:

you my friend, are a complete idiot. get a life you sound like the grinch who stole christmas, if someone wants to tell their story you have no right to come raining in like some forum god blessed with the ability to make people sound like complete idiots. given that drifting on a public street isnt safe, you still have no right to be a dumb asshole. get over it. are you gonna go around finding crack heads and telling them that its not respectable in any sense of a word? because you would be spending your time more wisely telling people not to do crack.

PLUS i hope you guys know, that yelling at people on a forum isnt going to do a absolute god damned thing, people are going to drift and do stupid shit regardless of what you say on a forum, GIVEN THE FACT THAT ITS THE INTERNET. your all just wasting your time. go become a cop and save the world if thats your intention, but its a car forum, people are going to talk about car things I.E. DRIFTING, STREET RACING etc etc the list goes on. if your gonna sit here and flame us "newbs" then go make a forum to do that, if were that new to the community you should be helping us instead of yelling and making new people feel un-welcome in the community.

I hope you drift off a cliff.

Given the fact that I haven't "yelled" at all, whereas you've yelled quite a bit completely shows your lack of competence.

Additionally, I have as much right to tell him he's a fucking retard as he has to post about being a jackass on public roads. Freedom is a 2-way street.

Every turd out there thinks hes a drifter, even since Tokyo Drift came out.
Cobalts are kinda lame. But I bet you wouldnt try that shit on DK. His Nissan OWNZ on the corkscrews in those parking lots!
Ok, Im done complaining. I need a beer.

I mean, Ive kicked the ass out from time to time. Yes, its fun... But I just aint a fan of it anymore. lol

No you make yourself sound like a complete idiot. Want some help? DIAF. It's fags like you that make this community more despised day by day.

Tip: School books > rx7club.com

So WTF are you talking about again?

DAMN SOMEONE CALL THE GRAMMAR POLICE!!! hahaha you guys are hilarious, the internets no joke these days.

It's okay, I still missed stuff looking back over it.

Woah. Im not sure.
I forgot I even posted in here. lmao

Ooookay....

haha. Yeah. Its been a long day. But Im getting a new car next weekend. :)

damn, i'm gonna start posting my essay's on here so you can proof read them archie... seems like you have plenty of time on your hands :D

Just bored today. Should just take the 7/8 out. I should have done the above in red, would have been more funny!
