You flubbed that quote pretty bad and if you read a few more seconds it implys that. Plus Drift Day has nothing to do with that quote so I don't know why you put it in there.

Well, this has got to be the funniest thing I have seen. Lets see.
but the media itself is adulterating the original standards of a technique primarily used as a method of showing off.
We will no longer judge the car based on its angle but by its appearance
One day this sport will become obsolete, so we must protect it from the adulteration it is suffering at the hands of the media
all of the adulterations that makes this once respected sporting event into a great amount of disgrace.
will it be a place to display legends controlling their cars.
It amazes me that the new people that come around here still complain about this underground thing. 240's are the new Honda and all that jazz. Get over it. It's not going to stay underground, it's not going to fade out anytime soon and if you don't buy a 240 because you think it's the new Honda then you are just plain dumb.
There are 2 ways that you can go about the Drifting world. 1. You can be mad that it isn't underground and you don't have the market cornered on 240s and Corollas, or 2. you can accept it, relish in the fact that good parts are being made, imported and are available to you, coverage is good so that you can actually watch it now and the fact that you can meet and talk to people that are better than you so you can learn. See without anyone putting money into the sport, drivers like Drift Alliance, Gushi, Hubinette and all those guys that are good would never be in one place at one time. They would still be getting busted by the local bacon backs.
So for pete's sake, lay off the Media. The Media is just following the sport. I highly doubt that there is some underground media driven "Drift ruining" squad out there whose soul purpose is to make Drifting into a clown circus. I personally don't care about the booty contests and the DJ's and all that crap but if the worst thing I have to endure while walking to the Drifting area is a scantily clad woman shaking it then i'm doing good. If you don't like the scantily clad woman up there, don't look. Simple as that.
The reason I harped on your choice of words is because it makes the post and the article (if it is one) look less credible. If you are going to use big words, double check their meaning first.

I'm going to have to say that complaining and writing editorials on this issue is absolutely pointless. I started a thread similar to this one a LONG time ago and it turned into the LONGEST thread I have ever seen on this board filled with the same crap just regurgitated over and over again. I agree with some of the things said but I'm going to have to side with Weapon X on this one. If it's something you love to do, just do it. Don't complain about everyone else, just focus on yourself and improving YOUR driving skills. Trust me, you'll feel alot better with a LOT less hate in your heart for the people that don't share your views or ideals on what drifting is or should be. I've come to peace with it and am having an absolute BLAST with this rainy season we are having in So. Cal., catch my drift? haha, I'm punny.

Ghost :
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
Mountains Crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
You couldnt have said it better, that was great. One thing though, whats so wrong about the woman? I mean they choose to do that, If a person wants to do something let them, your prob goin to watch from sidelines anyways (obviously you have) so just live with it, its theyre choice not yours.

...but Formula D is one of the most disgraceful representations of drifting out there. They do not focus mainly on the drifting itself but instead market products and degrade women while they are at it...
