zilvia needs this.

this page is for people who think drifting is dumb.

try to keep the personal attacks to a minimum or anything else that'll get this 'ed fast.


post pictures of stupid drift cars, stupid drift comments, stupid drift mods (trying to make your car handle worse?), anything drift-related.. as long as it stupid (which it all is!!)


let your frustrations out. and hold your ground, eventually drifting will go the way of honda street dragging that was rampant 7-10 years ago. after that we can all breath a sigh of relief

I don't hate drifting i just hate some of the things that have come along with drifting like...

1. Tons of fanboy attention
2. Missile cars

Those are really the main ones other than some of the stupid ass mods you speak off.

allntrlundrgrnd

I dont like that everyone who asks me about my car's first question is if i drift it.

Saying drifting is dumb and asking for no personal attacks on this forum? lol. I don't drift but I don't think drifting(at a track) is dumb. Why do you think so?

ranger240

ha why drifting is dumb.

from a drivers perspective other motorsports are principally about performance and or competition. i.e. racing and driving as fast as possible given the road/track conditions (straights,curves,whatever). the exhibition aspect of such activity was always secondary. exhibition being, spectators watching you. sure bmw did the art-car thing, and daytona mopars look cool, but the main point is to drive fast and win races.

drifting, well drifting has that relationship of performance/racing and exhibition reversed. exhibition is the principal goal of drifting (as a motorsport). in fact the secondary racing aspect of drifting hardly exists as its not quantified (i.e. no timing used) they use JUDGES. thats obnoxious, its like figure skating vs speed skating.

sure the drivers have fun doing both.. but do you want to be a 'ice dancer' or a speed skater?




theres tons of other stuff, but ill save my other reasons for later

Just because it's not what you want to do, doesn't mean it's dumb.

If you wanna drive grip and go fast, then go do that and have fun. We don't go drifting because we want to go fast. We drift because it's fun and that's what we want to do.

Sliding a car around a corner may not be a fast way around a corner, but it is still a form of performance driving.

If that is your argument as to why drifting is dumb, it's not very strong.

good point, i was originally going to touch upon that part about drivers preference. im all for drivers choosing to drive the way they personally enjoy.. getting the back loose around a turn is great fun.

its all the vinyl stickers on windshields, the giant stretched tires, 2-way diffs so you break traction easier, the missile cars, the people who trash chassis and throw them away like used condoms... that part of the 240 scene has to change

See now this is a better statement on your part rather than your thoughtless statement of drifting is dumb.
There are things that the current kids who are into drifting do that you think are dumb. It does not mean drifting in and of itself is dumb.

Perhaps you should have thought about your original statement before making it and making yourself look like a thoughtless troll that does not value achievement at all.


Plus stating that its dumb is not going to change the scene. You are wasting your words on closed ears. Once something has changed you cannot expect it to go back to how it was. That just doesn't happen.

Its like how the Original Rave scene was in the early 90's. It was all about the music and how it brought everyone together regardless of color, preference etc..
The music brought them together to Dance and they left their societal bullshit at the door. Eventually though it became large and people who just wanted a place to take drugs came. Next thing you know the vibe was gone it changed.

It was great for awhile but it changed. Its not the same anymore . What do you do cry about how it sucks now? Or grow and move on? Crying about how it sucks is not going to change what it has become.

So you grow and move on. Life is ever changing not constant. Don't like what has happened with 240's move on. There are other cars out there that are fun as well.

Its really not going to go back to what it was for a long time. Maybe in ten years when the cars are rare and the kids have moved on. Not now though.

So that pretty much sums up the fact that you are pining for something that is over. Get over it and stop making threads pining about it.

I gotcha, the current spectator's sport of drifting. I remember seeing, awhile back, these vids of japanese drifting where there was a timed race. I also remember watching on tv, a japanese drifter who is in the current drifting competitions, said something along the lines of "not drifting anymore but was doing it as a show for the fans." It's catered to us. We, americans like to watch. But yea, it is dumb now.

renegade_ewok

Drifting IS dumb. But the people that drift have a different perception of that concept than people that don't haha

TurboFC3C

The color blue is also dumb

HyperTek

wait til vrt bombs this thread. =)


but nah, drifting is cool imo, just the bandwagon of badly tuned cars and cocky attitude is what ruins it for me.

leave it to Ranger(right up there with Busteds13) to start a controversial thread and then ask for no negative comments. LOL
drifting sucks because of the kids who are into now. ( Just the kind of thing the OP wants to here )

I am counting down till this thread gets shit bombed and closed.

drift freaq

Ya and look at the shitpile its turned into. LOL why don't you just read and stop trying to be wise? You are new and others that are new are already creating terrible examples in this thread don't join them.

Oh, you mean like how I think most of these body kits are stupid but the one's with them don't? Except I don't go telling people their body kits are dumb.

Well that's an opinion. Without a reason behind your opinion that the majority can agree with, your opinion doesn't really matter.

renegade_ewok

PS I love drifting, but drifting IS dumb. But I love it.

It makes sense, right?

sonar_onederful

Makes perfect sense! I have no desire to drift, but I LOVE to watch! That's dumb!

HyperTek

i saw on motormavens that a site was taking shots at hella flush and the whole stance movement with negative remarks
WEBMINING> Offset Offensive from Toronto – MotorMavens

Its really the people who push shit too extreme with their cars that brings down the whole bunch related to it.. Im pretty sure same thing with the people here who are claiming they hate drifting, they probably got turned off overall by a few bad examples.

We're on the same page. I like the art and concept of drift. I just don't like the types of ppl in the drift scene and some of their automotive styling trends, like 'Drift damage FTW!!!' .... WTF, I guess...

IMO, the Honda scene has really calmed down alot and gotten more mature. I'll be happy when the drift crowd does the same.

Csomme

I wish it would do that over here. I think it all depends on where you live and the community's IQ level.

240XTC

Yes, it depends on certain individuals IQ level.

hotlavaflow

This thread will be full of FAIL

Love drifting

The actual drifting, I love. It's the most fun I've ever had, and I love looking at properly built drift cars.

Drifting is fun and cool, but taking drifting seriously is dumb to me.
Pretty much any form of track cars or of taking cars seriously is dumb to me though.

drift freaq

Thats you. Some people pursue racing and or drifting seriously. I personally think its fun like you do. I think all forms of racing are fun.

Drifting actually came out of racing. In fact Super Modifieds, Sprint Cars and such pretty much drift the whole race and were doing it before the term was actually coined.

In fact they do it with 750hp 750lb cars on dirt tracks. Tell me that does not take skill. Anything that has skill is an achievement situation.
Therefor there is value to it just not to all.

People need to stop being close minded like the OP. Tell the girls that work so hard in figure skating that their Ice dance with jumps long program is not a sport or achievement and you disqualify them as a person.

Maybe the OP should just be disqualified as a person as well for his lack of understanding of personal achievement and goals.
