Chevrolet Cavalier Drift Car Plunges Off Parking Garage in Atlanta!

http://www.wsbtv.com/video/13619463/index.html

This is good. Another dead 'high performance' Chevrolet Cavalier. Seems the expert 'drifter' dived off a six storey parking garage in midtown Atlanta!

Darwinism at work.

Advice to potential drifters here at Yarisworld: Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift was only a movie. No events in it took place in real life.

Only the driver was 'high'! Too bad he survived.

Drifting is a form of motorsport that requires a great, great deal of skill, practice, and precision. It is NOT something to be "tried" on the street, nor is street drifting actually condoned by any of the professional drivers. Don't watch the movies, and don't take F&F as your source of info on the topic. If you want to see real drifting go to the actual sources, and if you want to try your hand in the sport, please go to a sanctioned event.

Keep yourselves and your friends safe, and keep the integrity of the sport in tact. This goes for all types of racing.

You mean the sixth story of a parking garage is a bad place to practice your 1337 skillz?

You know, he will probably win money from the parking garage owner too saying the car careened out of control and the safety structure of the garage failed to stop his vehicle!

A few interesting power slides... not to be confused with a true drift

yeah, heh, since it's a professional drifter competing with real drift cars, i went with calling it "real" drifting. but it ain't the same...no tire smoke...not the same effect...
