for all yall who have never watched initial d and all u want is the action minus the "plot" and the piano music, just download battle stages. plus they really enhanced the animation for that dvd...
and i think i had heard bout drifting and thought it was cool before inital d...but initial d made me wanna try it out, and thanks to the guys at dgtrials.com i can say i guess that its a whole lotta fun...

only time will tell what kind of profound impacts it'll have on our public roads.

I doubt it'll ever get that mainstream though because U.S. roads are all so crappy that in a way its preventative unmaitenance. There isn't a single road in my town i could drift on that doesnt have a huge pothole or crack in the road awaiting you after a turn or an extremely low shoulder.

I was into drifting before I got all the initial D episodes (plus extra stage). After I saw the Initial D episodes though, I got way more adventurous. I feel like going for a burn everytime I watch an episode. My favourite anime.

Came out of turn 6 at Sears Point once in 95. Bridge port GSL-SE 3rd gear about 95 mph. back stepped out by the dip of the exit. I had no choice but to drift. That was one of the first good drift experience. Initial D s actually a great cartoon with lot of technical stuff for a cartoon. But is it funny how people try to live the life of a fictional story. It is funny in Initial D they never work on cars..... Oh I guess a lot of white boys are turning Japanese and all the sudden it is cool to shave you heads and wear a trucker's hat.
