My 2.2 cents




Hello again everyone! How are you? I'm doing alright, thanks for asking. I am here today to talk to you about the quickest growing motor sport, Drifting. Drifting if you don't know what it is, is amazing. Drifting is not like the other auto racing events. To be a good drifter, you have to be out of control, but completely in control. In other auto racing events you the driver slows down and takes the turn carefully. In drifting, the driver gets his rear tires to lose traction and slide through the turn sideways. Even though we have a top drifting league here inn America, we did not invent it. Drifting was invented in Japan. The Japanese used it as a way to get down the mountains faster. Drifting has changed in many ways since then. Drifting is now held as events at tracks, and not as get to togethers on the streets. The biggest change in drifting is, the cars. They went from stock cars with just a turbo kit, to fully modified cars producing close to 500 horsepower (like the cars above). Since drifting started in Japan, you would think that the best drift cars are made there. The good thing is, they are. I don't think any other country could make such successful drift cars like the Japanese do. Drifting is my favorite motor sport, and some day I hope to be apart of it.

My 2.1 cents?

Well, hello. I don't really know what the title is supposed to mean but whatever. I guess I get to talk about whatever I what, thats cool. The only problem is that, I don't know what to talk about. I really need to think of something or else this blog would be pretty boring. Ah! I finally thought of a topic, and if you know me well, you already know what it is. I really like to play car racing games on my Xbox 360, so I decided to talk about the latest and greatest racing game, Need For Speed Undercover. It's amazing!! If you like Need For Speed Most Wanted you will definitely like this one. It is just like Most Wanted, but better graphics, driving experience, and awesome cars. Undercover has the most realistic graphics out of all the available racing games. When it comes time for a race or just free roam, you can feel all the simulation. If your car has under steer or over steer, you can feel it. You can feel all grip the car has or doesn't have. The best part is that every car in the game is a mans dream car. Undercover has the worlds fastest car to the hottest imports. They have my dream car, the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR, a.k.a. Evo IX. Also, this game has the largest free roaming world ever created for a racing game. With endless highways, you can get your car up to top speed and pass traffic like its standing still. Need For Speed Undercover is so far the best racing game I have ever played. I can't wait for the next game in the series to be released.
