Yup I saw it on CNN last night and unlike the canadians the American didn’t rip it apart etc. Check it out [http://www.cnn.com/video/sports/2006/06/14/viles.automobile.drifting.affl/content.html](http://www.cnn.com/video/sports/2006/06/14/viles.automobile.drifting.affl/content.html) …the only thing that ruined this was the little gangsta ricer in the end but other then that I think it was mostly positive exposure. ---

hmm that was pretty good, i think that would be more discouraging to fanboys, than just threatening them and making it even more of an adrenalin rush. ---

imo that vid shined a postivie light on drifting. they not only show that it can be fun, but they mention how hard it is to do. they show that it can be dangerous. as spliner said, nadines mention of the civic’s drifitng might discourage some fanboys. all in all, good vid. ---

If CBC was to air the same thing they would make it look like it was the most sinester thing you can do and they would make it look like it’s the most dangerous thing in the world and how it should be outlawed here in Canada because we have better things to do like curling and canoeing or snowmobiling…yeah snowmobiling how come they don’t start crushing snowmobiles? Over 130 people get killed every year in Canada because of snowmobile accidents which is less then then the amount of people that get killed by street racing in Canada how come they don’t crush snowmobiles? If Canadians don’t change their attitudes and keep coming up with ways to screw people, they will always be Americas little bitch. ---

ya seriously. the WORST thing you can do is drive the speedlimit when you’re scared. the best thing you can do is drive 10% over the speed limit and not even look at the pigs. they DONT EXIST. they smell fear those fuckers the snowmobile example is fantastic. 3x the amount of people die snowmobiling a year than the amount of deaths in the past 6 years in street racing innocent people would NEVER EVER EVER die with street racing if there was a safe outlet. just drift on the streets and dont pull over. dont put plates on your cars. just drive them around. make sure you have good brakes tires and never drive with low fuel. Never drive beyond 80% of your ability. Win? haha just kidding dont do that. your life will suck. ---
