Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean it's overrated. &nbsp;You probably think track driving is overrated to and will post the same thing for them. &nbsp;Modifying your car, that's overrated as well, better post it for them too. &nbsp;Cars in general are overrated, so you should go on every car forum you can find, and post this intelligent point that you have made.

Okay WTF is this shit?
Seriously... there is no point to this post, it might as well just say:
Tomatoes suck!
or
College people are stupid!
or
240sx's lick Fumunda!

Stupid and pointless. &nbsp;If you don't like drifting/drifters, fine. &nbsp;Free country, etc etc etc, but making retarded posts like this just makes you look like more of an ass. &nbsp;You most likely haven't even met and actual drifters; do you have a basis for this arbitrary hate? or are you just another bandwagon jumper trying to make yourself look cool (failing btw) and feeding your inferiority complex? Jesus. &nbsp;There's so much projected in your little post it's really amusing.

Seriously, don't be an idiot. &nbsp;If you're going to post, try to make it something of substance that CONTRIBUTES to the group as a whole, rather than just spewing broad asinine statements.

Sure are lots of haters on this board. More than I remember, anyway. At least a few people found the point to the post (which was for humor's sake).
As for hating on drifting, I don't. I picked a topic that would get attention, and the history of Zilvia shows umpteen thousand drifting / curb humping threads.
Drifting IS overrated.
I like to drift, and I can do it beter than alot of people. On that same note, however, I'll be the first to say that I don't think I'm very good at it - especially not when compared to professional drivers who drift.
Drifting is overrated because it looks cool and it's becoming a fad. Why would a knockoff bodykit company sell 'Drift kit' front bumpers for fucking pickup trucks?
Don't take a little joke that made you feel a tiny bit stupid for half a second so personally that you flame me because you think I'm attacking you.

[DrDubbleB]

So your post made me feel stupid? &nbsp;That's news to me. &nbsp;We all might be dumber by reading it, but it certainly didn't make me FEEL stupid. &nbsp;Funny that you singled me out though when nothing that I said flamed you. &nbsp;Was I being extremely sarcastic, yes.

I don't think anyone got the point of your post, we all found it pretty pointless and stupid. &nbsp;Sorry.

[Yoshi]

IF you really did mean your post as a humorous joke (which i have my doubts, but anyway...) why didn't u at least put some smilies of some sort by it?

Having the link and a: &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> &nbsp;would've made it clear you weren't trying to bash anyone, but as it stands there was really no explanation... just the fact that you said drifters were idiots. &nbsp;I'm far from considering myself one, but I give credit where credit is due, the pro guys have skill and in the event they're on the street and in an accident, they'll know best how to handle the situation. Controlling something that's going out of control takes skill, period. &nbsp;But i'm off on a tangent.

Say what you mean. &nbsp;if it was meant as a joke, indicate that it IS such or be ready to be flamed. &nbsp;All this aside, there still was no point to it... just got people riled up.

DrDubbleB: I'm pretty sure that should've been aimed at me, not u.

Wrong again. The point was to make at least 1 other person happy/laugh/release endorphins/something nice. It happened. Ask NervGS. He seemed to like it. Just because I posted a misleading link that may have possibly threatened someone who thinks they can drift's ego, don't get all butt-hurt about it. It's not like it was a link to chubby-bears.com or goatse.cx or some trojan or worm or some shit.

c'mon this is really reaching. what would mousing over the link have done? shown that it went somewhere else besides the url listed? it was some ambiguous personal webspace site with an embedded swf.

well, at least you're seeing the light at the end now... I know most of this sounds rather harsh, but here's how the social internet works:
There are NO ways of seeing/hearing tone of voice, body language, eyes, facial expressions, or any other emotional descriptors.

I have no doubt that you know what you meant with your post, but with as little text as there was, people are going to take it however they feel at the time. The smilies are all we have to determine these things. Apparently all this bickering is one giant miscommunication, I'm just saying you don't need to compound the issue by trying to force your point across... catch more flies with honey kinda thing...

Well, it seems clear to me that trying to bring a smile to someone other than me is not worth my time & effort, and I'm ok with that.
Yosh: About the drifter thing.. &nbsp;you say nobody here claims to be a drifter, but look at how many people jumped on me because they thought I was calling drifting stupid. And as far as mousing over: would you have still clicked it seeing what the link WAS instead of 'driftcity.net'? Be honest.

BEISSEN: I'm talking about japanese drifters, primarily. I seriously doubt Jeff Gordon or Michael Andretti drift. Also, where did I say I drift on the street? I haven't drifted on the street (intentionally) for well over a year. I grew up a little and decided I'd rather risk only myself and my car while on a track. Also, could you enlighten me as to how my post is 'so stupid, and HOW, exactly, I 'screwed myself over'. Admitting ones shortcomings is not a dishonorable thing. Would you prefer I came on here and bragged about what a great drifter I am? I think not. I can drift, but not as great as some. I enjoy the ability to control my car, especially at high speeds.

You are on a 240sx forum. &nbsp;240s are a popular drift car. &nbsp;When you bash on drifting, even as a joke, expect to get flamed.

[DSC]

Drifting is an impressive display of car control

You can quote me on that...I think it's cool. HOWEVER I don't like it when ppl drift in public intersections where other cars are present (you have green they are stopped at red), on in neighborhoods <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> , or anywhere else where you would endanger someone else other than yourself...and that includes taking passengers for rides.

I also don't like it when inexperienced drivers attempt to drift...it's like trying to do the high dive when you can't do much more than tread water <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
