I read this post on a local 86 page: “Any 86 guys ever street? I’m tryin to tandem soon with some guys”

I commented with this: “Instead of going on the attack here, which is mighty tempting, I’ll take a different approach.

Why do this over going to a sanctioned event/track? We’re centrally located in one of the absolute best spots in the country for grassroots motorsports, like drifting. There are lots of events all the time around here, and entry cost for drift events is pretty damn cheap. Not to mention the added levels of organized safety, immensely diminished risk of hurting any bystanders, lack of negative impact on the automotive community’s image, and access to great quality instruction.”

No response yet.

That pains me to see. There are no excuses for that behavior on the street.

And this is why enthusiasts get a bad rep.

“Hey, any 86 guys into cruising? I made a new friend online, calls himself 'Bear' and says he can put some power into my bottom or whatever, I think he means helping get some more low-end torque. I'm meeting him at the Blue Oyster tonite, I think it's sort like a Applebees or sth."

Someone commented with a video from their car following a friend drifting on two lane roads, with cars around, in the rain. They have since deleted it, but, fuck, these kids are stupid.

Act like you’re interested, get the location, alert the police. Then turn that sigh into a smug smile.

Why would they even post that? I can’t even comprehend that.

By the way, since you’re the only resident toyobaru owning Oppo member I know of, have you ever tried plugging the sound tube? I’m strongly considering it but I’m not sure how much of a difference it makes. I like the engine sound but when you’re driving in traffic at 2000rpm going 12mph it gets really old really quickly.

out of curiosity, how old is this poopface?

Also, what does street mean in this context? What does tandem mean? My googling reveals nothing. Does this mean going out for a spirited drive or something else?

Given the context, ‘street’ probably means street racing, and ‘tandem’ means drifting side by side. it’s impressive when done on tracks at organised events, but unbelievably dangerous on the street. People like this idiot give the car community a really bad rep

Neither can I.

I have not, but also intend to. Haha

There’s a few. I know decay owns one as well.

Pretty much Mr. Laurence’s, response. Except that “street” refers to drifting on public roads, not street racing.

But I’ll go ahead and enlighten you to the OP’s ever so eloquent explanation:

Interesting. Now I’ll have to keep a lookout for fellow toyobaru owning Oppos.

Haha I was planning on stopping by Lowe’s on the way home today. I’ll let you know how it goes when I get the chance to do the mod. I figure since it’s literally $2 it’s worth a try
