Event Coverage: Fabricated Motorsports’ The Mexican Standoff.
A Mexican standoff is a slang term defined as a stalemate or impasse, a confrontation that neither side can forseeably win. In popular culture, the Mexican standoff is usually portrayed as three or more opponents with guns drawn and ready, creating a tense situation. Neither side is willing to shoot for fear of being shot in return, yet neither side wants to relinquish its weapons for fear that its opponents will shoot them. This situation forces the participants to resolve the situation either by diplomacy, surrender, or a pre-emptive strike.
Everything IS bigger in Texas. That includes Carbon wings.

Nostalgic Wednesdays: Initial D
Oh yes I did. Initial D, the cartoon that literally introduced the ricers of the late 90's and early 2000's with the Japanese street past time of drifting by introducing us to Fujiwara Takumi and his bad ass Tofu carrying 4AG powered AE-86. Most will not admit that their first experience with drifting in the 90’s came from this cartoon, but in reality it was. At the time of its release, most of us were worried about the axles that we were braking during a drag race and not about how to get our cars sideways, but man did this change as everyone started to move from drag to drift through the 2000's.

Event Coverage Preview: The Mexican Standoff.
As I'm writing this on my way back from Mineral Wells, TX in DFan's comfy 4 door civic, I can't help but think how dedicated a lot of Texas Drifters are. I bitch and moan about a 5 hour drive to a sleepy town that nobody has heard of, but these guys not only make that same drive, but they also wrench on their cars all the way up to the last minute for these drift events held by Fabricated Motorsports. These guys are pretty serious when it comes to making these events, and this event was no different.

A 512 Snap: 20 Valve Sex.
As we continue to pile through our photos from the 512 weekend I just had to throw this particular one up. Being a Toyota junkie you have to appreciate the attention to detail in this bay. I mean, damn, straight flossin those ITB's.
I would make love to this motor...4 times.

Massive Skill: McDonalds Drifter.
Self explanitory, homeboy kills a burger, and a medium coke during full lock in his AE-86. Only in Japan, this is too hard core.

Random Snap: What’s Linhbergh shooting?
At a recent Drift event held at Grand Sport Speedway in March, something caught this SpeedHunter's eye. What is it?
Dukes of Hazzard: Real Life Edition in Dallas, Texas
Remember watching General Lee in Dukes of Hazzard on television when you were a kid?
The Legendary 01
Remember those bad ass super jumps when the General was running away from the Sheriff?
Super Jump!
Well, this lady is took things a bit more seriously. She literally jumps a toll booth at the Dallas International Airport and survives to tell the tale. Probably because she was drunk. Who knows, but damn this is funny.
Just a Scratch
Dayum!

A Nostalgic Wednesday: The Veilside Supra
Hailing from the Golden Era of Japanese tuning, the Veilside Supra. Many of the readers out there might find this thing unattractive, too "Ricey", and well...dated. As for the others like myself, we might have gotten one of our first ricer broners gazing at this beast.
Aggressive Body
Damn right that's functional!
Oh, and by the way...what the hell happened to "these" Supra drivers?
Respect.
