Jewtheist... Good job on the new wheels. Those ummm, things weren't cuttin it.

Idrewfelix, what he does with his car really has nothing to do with you. Yes we know it's not smart to dirft out in public, some people just don't get that. He never said he was trying to be Ueno. It's just something he like to do I guess. Oh and No one ever said SC's aren't meant to drift. People have proved that. Even people on this forum. And yes I understand you were just stating an opinion.

lexluv300, posting a photo like that is more than enough fuel for the fire. You're statement after said photo could be viewed as offensive to some people. Saying "Look what happened to this chick after Neuro was zooming down the street in his SC drifter" may cause people to preceive him as something he is not. It might possibly tarnish his image.

I thoght he didn't drift on purpose. I think he just had bald tires and acceled hard what is still bad.

Nice rims!

Yeah I don't know if you guys know the whole story...the thread is in the clubhouse or car chat, one of those.

He basically tried to go around someone who was making a u-turn and he hit the gas a little too abruptly with bald tires, spun out and ate the curb along with a chunk of his rims. He wasn't drifting purposely on a public road, i'm not sure how that assumption was made.

Good looks on those rims! A nice stock look.

What that one person said was right, i was on public road, tried to pass a u-turner, hit gas hard, had bald tires, trac wasnt working, and went into an uncontrolled slide into the curb. I wasnt drifting on purpose, it was a metaphor i was using
