My first ever car was a 1991 Acura Legend. It wasn’t necessarily the car I had in mind, my eyes were set on an S14 or some sort of 240sx. My dad, who was paying for the car (yes I know, sponsored by mommy and daddy, roast me) said that I need to get a reliable car and not some shitty old Nissan. I guess it should be noteworthy that I didn’t know jack shit about cars so don’t say “you should have gotten this or that you fuckin’ imbecile” – I know. Anyway, I opted for an Acura Legend. My friend Jeff (notae86) told me to look into them and I was pretty hooked. They kind of look like Chasers, so I thought why not fake the funk? I didn’t know exactly how, but I knew I wanted to modify it to look like a drift car. Anyway, fast forward a year and a half and it looks something like this:
Anyway, throughout this “build”, I was still fascinated and surrounded by all sorts of drift cars. Every single one of my friends had a RWD car and I was the outlier. Still faking the funk, when they went out streeting I tagged along and hit the corners with some Formula D ebrake skids. Nothing peaked my interest more than the S14, though. Especially the Koukis (bite me, you save the zenki nerds). Exhibit A, B, and C for you:
Yeah, literally everyone I knew had a drift car. At least my car kind of fit the profile!
