Default Drifting car outside my house

To start off, I live in a pretty decent and secluded area, one of the reasons I bought this house was how away it was , there is only one acces out of this development and my development is within a development. My house sits on slightly higher ground/hill and it's. Like a big circle the street I'm am on with a dead end.

My wife was visiting her sick sister and I was watching my now almost 3 and 2 year old about 4 30am I hear a loud exhaust around my development it was faint and I am light sleeper so I got up , while still Laying in bed I am thinking wtf.. There all old people around me and couple of cops who live nea by.. So I hear the car coming on my street and then I look out my window I see a red car drifting outside !!...at this point my 3 yr old started crying cuz of the loud exhaust in his room. I was soo pissed off I kept thinking to go down /i kinda half way actually did to get into my Lx and just ramming him and stopped when I realized my wife is not at home...

So I am gona watch out Around my place an see what and who it was . I couldnt figure out the car.. It was kinda like Nissan 240 or whatever they are but the head lights where pop up / hidden lights..seemed like a 1990s model..

Not sure what to do if I experience this again...

Probably just trying to get the license plate number next time or just standing in your door way on the phone and if this "genius" were to ever come back. I wouldn't recommend confronting anyone, even though your in the right. You just never know these days... Hopefully this doesn't happen to you again.

Haha, true.

I suggest getting the plate & calling the cops next time. Hopefully he won't be back.

Get into your IS-F, pop the garage, turn on head light, rev then show him/her how it should be done in style..........Drift King.

Yeah next time i'd just get the license plate and call the cops. Maybe take a video as proof if you're really adamant about making the guy stop

My guess is it was just some dumb kid who used your street once for fun...probably won't be back.

agreed with recording on the phone camera and recording the license plate. Hard evidence will add a few nono points on the dude's DL. if your street is ideal for drifting, he may be back with friends.
