You know, I remember when Matt was a drag racer in his z31, Taylor thought imports were crap (and had a Vortec truck), when Rob used to have his G20. Did anyone of these guys give a damn about drifting? No... and they damn sure weren't the first ones to do it, either. You all start somewhere, be it a Miata, a stock s14 drifting on wet pavement, or S13's sliding into street signs. Everybody starts somewhere, takes from others, watched initial D, and nobody knows it all. The elitist attitude isn't going to fly, and those that keep flossing it are the first to go.
Dear god do I remember all of that.
Theres NOTHING wrong with people asking questions thats how you learn. Why I get so upset with Taylor when I work on cars around him. Cause I didn't come out of the Womb with a wrench or a steering wheel in my hand as some people think they did.
You ask questions, you try things out you use your resources (your friends) and you learn from all of those things. Theres no wrong way to ask a question you know nothing about. It's like someone asking me about breakdancing, would I call them a dick or make fun of them. No if you're serious about learning and want me to show you a few things I'm all for it.
Shitty "I'm the cool kid" attitudes is what seperates people from a common things we all love. I got shit for selling my 240 and I told everyone to fuck off. I wanted to concentrate on my clothing. What did I do? Go out and bought a honda that I modded. I'm at square one again. It takes making mistakes and your own decisions to learn. Just as it does as taking advice from your friends.
I for one still read the drift forums and I'm glad the BS is getting cleaned up and useless posts are being deleted, "drifter or no drifter"
Thank you Mods.
