You clearly know nothing about drifting. Some of those videos weren't even drifting such as the Lambo that is only peeling out and from a dead stop! There is nothing impressive about these videos except maybe the two-wheeling. They are done in EXTREMELY dangerous conditions. Many are done with front-wheel drive cars, and popping the e-brake at high speed is again not impressive, nor is scanadavian flicks that send the car into a 720. The ones who spun out are DAMN lucky their tires didn't catch while spinning since they were sliding not drifting (Drifting involves putting power down while you slide). They could have easily flipped the cars and several of them came VERY close. I suggest you watch some D1 or professional drifting to get an idea of the difference between good driving technique and whatever the kids are doing in Saudi. Obviously in the opinion of you and your friends, life is cheap there and other people don't mean anything.
Watch this video for instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUY5V...eature=related
This is what drifting SHOULD look like. And the type of venue where it is acceptable to do. What you really need to notice is the one most important thing that your video of drifting lacked... CONTROL OF THE CAR! Oscillating the car side to side and jabbing at the E-brake just causes instability. It takes skill to execute a prolonged and controlled slide.
Also you might want to sort out what cars you actually like. You say Lambo Gallardo and then show pictures of the Reventon, which is mechanically based on a Murcielago, and then you show a picture of a Diablo, which went out of production a few years before the Gallardo was even released... And you threw in a Kia Optima, which, while I really like the tiger nose design, is more so out of place than the A5. Finally the McLaren SLR is out of production as well and replaced with the MUCH better looking (in my opinion) M.B. SLS AMG which no longer looks like an overcompensation mobile with a 10 foot hood.
Wow... just wow.
note to self, never talk about cars, this guy will own you.

Drifting will never cease to amaze me with how ridiculous it is, same with sidewall surfing, since both make you look like a tool to anyone over twenty and destroy your tires in the process. Though at the same time it's usually ricer owners that do it and they obviously don't care about looking ridiculous with their glowing lowered celicas with exhausts that sound like trumpets.
With the exception of maybe one guy, all I see is a bunch of idiots ruining their cars with the potential to cause serious harm to the other drivers...
Also, this isn't Saudi...go advertise on Saudi websites where similarly-minded people may think this is "cool" too...tho I'd really like to believe the world hasn't come to such a state of stupidity...

Speaking of trumpet exhausts, there are some dumbasses in my neighbourhood with modified cars that race down the streets (I live in the suburbs fyi) at 2am and wake everyone up...I can't stand people like that.

Lmao! I don't have a problem with it in general...it's your car, do whatever u want to it lol. Just as long as you take it somewhere where people aren't sleeping, and it's not a small street so close to houses that you could potentially crash into, it's all good.

I agree with you
but remember that these drifters are all around 17-25
and they just do it as a hobby unlike the dude in ur vid where he does it for a living
as I said for the top 10 looking cars its just an opinion video
and who the **** changed my pic :(
