As if red and blue smoke weren't enough, now its time to mix your favorite herbal smells into burning rubber.

(should this be in the technical section?)

Just, wow...

Drifting is a pox on the face of motorsports.

As fun as I'm sure it is...I have to agree, It's gotten to a level of rediculousness matched by none. (except maybe swamp buggy racin')

What's wrong with drifting exactly? It's fun to watch, fun to do, and makes more people realize how much FWD sucks.

Besides being generally retarded?

So is America? What are you a fucking commie?

Scott's asked me that many times. Usually it was with regards to what kind of bread I was eating though...

You don't like white bread?

No, I like white bread. I think he's the dirty commie...

That rosemary picture looks like something else.

Drifting is fine... just don't call it a "motorsport".

Drifting is to racing as figure skating is to hockey. Sure it takes skill and tallent, and it's fun to watch, but since the "winner" of the event is determined by judge's opinions, rather than a rule book, it's not a "true" sport.

Also, the "drift scene" delegitimizes the real enthusiasts... if you're trying to make your sport mainstream, foam parties aren't the path to FIA acceptence. :lol:

Back to the tires: What's with the scents they picked? "Rosemary"? "Lavender"? WTF does rosemary smell like, and why would I want my tires to smell that way? Are these tires supposed to make my burnouts at the Rennisance Festival more "authentic"? :lol:

They also stated in the article that the tires really do smell like Lavender and Rosemary.... if they were grown in a vat of rubber.

I don't know, you get the FIA management in to some of those foam parties, or front row at the bikini contest... let the sanctioning begin... :lol: No, Renisance festival scents would be cattle droppings, and beer & turkey leg farts. Oh, and don't forget sweaty armour.

"It stinks like sex in here"

"...Oh, Scott just did a donut nevermind"

That's funny, 'cause sex really does smell like burnt rubber sometimes.

burnt rubber and rosemary.

Wouldn't that be Latex?

No!

If you smoke after sex, SLOW DOWN!

Damn this thread is funny. I love to watch drifting, but scented tires, that's a freakin joke. When are they gonna stop milking it?
