before HD, there were camcorders

way back when

you make lemonade

massachusetts got the first snowfall not too long ago.

it was kind of disheartening to walk out to this.

then this happened:

DriftFaction Jesse was on his way to school in the datsun pickup just as
I was pulling off the highway, and he ended up right behind me. 
He was johnny-on-the-spot with the cell phone and captured this little number:

DriftFaction Derek

can't help wanting to drift every time i see a snow flurry.

reminds me of the end of 'driftworks 3' when the black fc, big tourer, and orido in the impreza coupe

are sliding around that kart course, and ancient bihoku videos in the dead of winter

with the course plowed and snow still falling.

wish our tracks were that cool.

that's it for '09. it went by too fast.

all this can be yours

browsing random japanese car exporter sites here at work.

went through a hundred beat s-chassis, then i came across

HARAGUCHI'S AWESOME 180 as one of the cars for sale.

peep the door speaker

probably sold to dubai or south africa

or maybe the galaxy haraguchi came from.

page is dated over a year ago. is this old news?

my young boys wildin' for respect

word was that hartford street races were gonna have a big turnout one last time for 2009

most of the serious DriftFaction cars are blown up, in pieces, or both at this
point of the year, so DriftFaction Kyle led the young'ns down to catch some action

the night's roster was:

DriftFaction Kyle:   boro hatch / sexystyle / CST

DriftFaction Steve: beat kouki / origin / battle

DriftFaction Ryan:   black coupe / rust / XXR

mandatory gas station shots

cannot wait for paint on this thing

the kids ran a few cars, but before long
they were back to their old ways:

wide three-car donut starring Kyle, Steve, and Ryan

then point-and-shoot + flash + bad shot-framing

led to a handful of pictures looking way 90's

this kid approved

 

first time in a while people were able to run all night.

no cops, no stabbings, no crashes, no tow trucks

left plenty of spare time to hit some corners, like so:

BN Sports / SexyStyle / Grenade GX-01

this is what happened when Jesse got bored with the

kouki setup in late August.

when you buy a popular tuner car from a previous owner who was also an enthusiast,
you're always gonna end up with a mod that wouldn't have been performed under your watch. 

in this case, DriftFaction Matt's new chassis got into a fight with
a few rattlecans of flat black long before he scooped it up.

before:

cat scrapin'

so the man finally decided on a color, and the car got sprayed

fresh out of paint:

once more:

pignose bumper, vertex sides, kouki rear.

painted third brake bezel, shaved rear sidemarkers, and
murder tint only on the quarterglass for extra j-points
