Drifting, motorsports, racing, rally x, snowboarding, music, japan, road racing, car shows, automotive, video games, r/c cars, parties, j-girls, cigars, nice suits, polished shoes, spicy tuna, oysters, clams, and volcano popcorn.
I'd like to meet:
Drifting and and other motorsports enthusiasts, generally cool people, r/c car drifters, anyone who wants to learn more about drifting. I'd also like to meet anyone who thinks that we can work together to do anything bigger and better than what we're currently doing. I love to hear new ideas! Also like to meet people that are able to talk about drifting all day and night. If you don't know much about drifting, you need to be able to listen to people talk about drifting all day and night and pretend to be interested.
