If you go to streetfire.net, look at how many people try to drift now after seeing that tokyo drift movie, or better yet, look up the kid wiht the miata, that went to an arcade and played Initial D ( a japanese animation about racing and drifting) left, and then drove aroudn a mountain trying to drift, and ended up in the guardrail.


And noodles I will agree to a degree that they're awsome, they're car movies, I like that, but when you wreck the american cars, tahts when they go sour, and I love tokyo drift because there's asian chicks everywhere in that movie lol, and the soundtrack aint bad either.
people have been doign all those things for decades...its just that the media exploits it now
edit: thats like saying street racing didnt start until FATF came out
