I chose this photo because of the fact that I absolutely LOVE drifting. It is a very popular sport that came to the USA in 2003 from Japan. To explain it simply, it is merely powersliding the tail end of your car through corners and using the gas pedal and steering input to control just how sideways through a corner your car will go without spinning out.

This car from what I can see seems to be a Silvia S14(Nissan 240SX) with an S15 front end conversion.

I love looking at these types of pictures of cars when they are in mid-drift because they look so graceful yet you see the tires smoking as well which just goes to show you how much power these cars need to put down in order to really get the wheels spinning.
