Personally.... i think it was that goddamn Fast and the Furioues Tokyo Drift Bullcrap!!!

Sup man, sorry you had to go through that.. FYI fwd cars aren't bad out there, i used to drive nothing but fwd prior to my fd, as long as the weight of the car's light and the power balance adequate you can have some good fun.

Touge is definitely a word in another language like baka(you) and ksobaba(you) but that's just a ricer's term, JDM y0!! i'm toyte cause i Know JdM maiIng!

So in order to love your car you must beat it up and drive it recklessly? You just push the limits of your car on roads you don't know and then learn only when you crash? Get real, and stop watching FnF
I drive the speed limit and enjoy the road and the tightness of my FC.......and then THIS guy has the nards to tell us we don't love the 7.......how stupid.

Everyone has their own limits, so its not about pushing it to your limits... its just the stupid people that like to push over their limits thinking they're badasses, but you know **** happens...

Every summer, toward the end, the cops get sick of people driving fast up that road between Saratoga and the summit, and they crack down. I don't even bother going up there in the summer, anyway, with all the tourist traffic during the day and idiots at night trying to race each other.

Threads like this one are killing any fun left on those roads. Let's all aggree to STOP NAMING ROADS ON THE PUBLIC FORUM and the heat will die down...again....like it does year after year.
IMO, we should save it for the track. We've got one of the best road courses in America right down the road in Monterey.
