But Mario is just goofy. That is his personality. He is always cracking jokes and stuff. At least, that is how I've always known him to be. But don't underestimate his "goofyness" w/ his skills as a fabricator. He does A LOT of fabrication work for many of the top cars in the industry. His welding skills are excellent. Non Fujita's car is just one car he did fab work on.

Here is his Discovery Channel profile/interview.

Are you serious? I'm going to have to watch the episode at my friend's house this week then.

Damn post-production editing. Just proves what editing "may" do to someone...portraying them in a different light.

good episode. i got a LOT of phone calls during it though

"hey did you know they have driftin on monster garage??"-caller
"for realz?"-me
"yah its cool guess what they are doing"-caller
"i dunno, maybe a 350z drivetrain in a honeybee?"-me
"haha ok bye"-caller

i think this will be AWESOME for drifting though, monster garage has a TON of veiwers, and now they have all seen what drifting is about, and hopefully they will get out to events and pump some money into the sport to help it grow even more.

aawww man that sucks. i started watching monster garage but then changed it to stupid fear factor and monday night football. hopefully they show it again

Fear Factor???? Man you deserve to never see that episode.

[NismoSigma]

Hmmmm i was going to watch it, but what had happened was that I had my cheetos and my spagetti and started watching adult swim. The show was on at 1:00am but I said screw and tried to stay up, i fell asleep right after i ate my SPAGETTI. Oh well, you snooze you lose!

Jesse didn't get served, he had a messed up leg, did you not see the crutches?

[DizyDrifter]

But I'm sure that even with a good leg, Gushi would have killed him.

well of course he got served.. he's challenging someone whos been doing it for years.. and this is his first atempt at controlling a car at high speeds while sliding.. gushi's been drifting for a while.. even if jesse's leg wasnt messed up.. he wouldn't have a chance.. he could do donuts and other things but that doesn't really require that much control.. i mean it was his 1st day.. he did pretty good after a couple of laps.. if he had more practice he could really get better.. hes got the point.. but yeah i dont know what im talking about i have nothing better to do haha ok bye

oh yeah! you must learn to crawl before you can walk.. you must know how to walk to run!

jesse went from crawling to running!

[tougeC]

I think Jesse did a descent job for his first time..Thats just my opinion though

[GoukiS14]

yeah from the footage it seemed that he got it pretty quick being his first time drifting on a track.... i'm sure he has had alot of driving experience though so that's why it didn't take him long

[the riot hero]

they did the competition after jesse was healed up...

anyway, IMO the whole episode was pretty dissapointing.

i dont knwo why you guys think jesse got it quickly, didnt look to me like he got it at all. he got the *Censored**Censored**Censored* end out a couple times with shear horsepower and then it came right back...

[Ziptyed]

I thought it was ok, but they didn't do much suspension except for cutting the springs, and I would have thought about putting a 240 rear end on it, and adding a decent 2 way, but I think the track is wider than the 210, but with the datsun truck rear, they welded it i think(ghetto). i guess it works if your not using it more than once or twice. I was also surprised with the engine choice, but it was still pretty sick, and you gotta love the honey bee hub caps.

[techtrix]

you guys are trying to compare a pro drifter in a fully set up and tested car (gushi & his s13) to a car that was thrown together and built more like a drag car than a drift car (cut springs in the front, stock shocks, stock leaf springs and a welded diff, with a big motor, this car would have been more of a drift car with a stock motor and some good suspension) and jesse james driving .... come on guys, of course jesse got served

[FD3S_pilot]

i only saw the ending, surprised to see Ken in there!! as for Jeese James yeah he might have got served but at least he try drifting!!!
