I just found it funny that in the USA Today article, they havea link to a flash commentary about "how to drift" or whatever. The drawing of the car in the example is none other than a MKIV.
Represent.
As for the drifting thing. Yeah, it's not a sport or a race. It's kinda like watching baseball I guess, shitty on TV, can be fun in person, and no real athletic talents, you just gotta work at it until you get the basics right.
