John McCain's Wife Likes To Drift

[KiLLeR2001]

Lol, this surprised the hell out of me, Cindy McCain talks about one of her favorite hobbies... DRIFTING!


"It's called drift racing," she says of her hobby, adding that her elder son, Jack, bought her professional driving lessons for her 50th birthday. "It was three years ago, right after my stroke. I was really hesitant. I thought, well, I'm weak. But he said, 'Mom, I want to do this with you. You can do this. It'll be good for you.'"

"It's not about speed, she says. "It's this new Japanese style. Basically, it's skidding and spinning around," she explains, "so that you don't, number one, roll; number two, skid off the track; and number three -- you know -- screw your car up. It's really fun." And, as it turned out, great rehabilitation as well, "both mentally and physically, because I had to use everything I was having trouble using."

Yeah, seriously, I wonder how this would affect the generally negative publicity that drifting recieves in the wider media.

How funny would that be, to have her show up at the DC Drift Showoff at Fedex Field driving a CTS-V with the presidential seal on it. LOL.

imho he's the lesser of 3 evils. but thats not what this thread is about. hooray for someone in the public eye being open minded about a new motorsport instead of automatically being judgemental towards us.
