Drift ready Corolla
Remember my earlier post on the Black AE70 that my friend bought last month? Well, I have bad news, the moment the owner got the car out of his workshop, it crashed.
I didn’t phoned up my friend, but from the SMS that we exchanged, it seemed like my friend was too eager to test drift the car right after it’s free to leave the workshop, bad idea.
“Sorry, I thought drifting wasn’t that hard”
That’s what he said in one of his SMS.
I feel bad for him, yet I’m angered at his stupidity as well. You spent a hefty amount of money to finally bought a car that you desired, had it fixed and you’ve decided it’s a good idea to try drift it, on the public streets! The hell?
If you’ve been to Sibu, you know how bad our road conditions are, and some of them are tight, my friend attempted to drift at a small roundabout, once the car started to skid, he panicked and lost control of the car, the AE70 started to snap between directions violently, and finally crashed into oncoming traffic.
Fortunately, the accident was minor, aside from some cosmetic damages to both of the cars, both drivers were fine, my friend was lucky that he get to settle the problem personally with the victim instead of dealing it in the Police station.
He should’ve looked for me in the first place before he considers drifting the car on the streets, causing harm to others. Without ANY experience at all, he should’ve at least get some practise at my usual playground, where its wide, empty and plenty of runoffs. I would’ve been so glad to have teach, and share my knowledge, and techniques with him.
Just when I thought my future drift partner is right around the corner, it’s now slipped away again, the car is now back to the workshop once more, and drilling deeper holes to my friend’s wallet…. what more can I say? Served him right, and hope he learnt his lessons.
Sibu Dorifuto!
