Where to practice
Tokyo, duh
I wonder if you know
How they live in Tokyo
If you seen it, then you mean it
Then you know you have to go
Little bit of toe-in for grip just like racecars.
You don't really do much to the rear setup for angle things.
The track.
the closest track to me is a state over, sadly.
Yeah, that sucks. My local track is 40 minutes away.
I really don't condone street shenanigans but obviously find a secluded area, keep your car quiet, and go late at night.
I've heard that giving the rear wheels a negative camber or 'stanced' look improves the drift by making it a little easier to break free in the back
You heard wrong.
Less grip means less control.
Also, high camber means uneven wear which is just wasting tires.
If you need less grip due to low power just pick tires that are better suited for your power level and if you need even less grip just run higher pressures.
Don't let the stance bois lie to you about their setups. They're just trying to tuck big wheels that dont fit for aesthetics, which is fine, but why lie about it?
"how do you tune the rear suspension for optimal angle?"
Idk I've never been good at maths
"Also where to practice without attracting the attention of cops?"
Practice what?
drifting, of course
Oh, we're talking about different things. You're talking about cars and I'm talking about the lifestyle.
i was playing witcha
"If you catch my drift"
don't try to catch drift, you might end up hurting yourself badly. too much inertia
Voluntarily or involuntary?
Voluntarily. Having a place would cost a lot of money and if I made any money I would have to spend all of it on the place. This is just cheaper.
So, explain how.
Sleeping in a car or someone else's house doesn't have any rent. You don't have to pay for things like electricity, gas or water if you don't have a place of your own.
That's not just a drifter. That's a freeloader.
Free loading of who? How is a friend during you a favor free loading? What if I just like hanging out with you my friends?
A friend helping out in an emergency for a few days, weeks or mayyybe months is one thing. Systematically living on somebody else's bill only to save your own expenses is something else.
You're of course free to do what you want, but don't be surprised if your friends get tired of you.
I'm not "Systematically living on somebody else’s bill" I just sleep over at my friend's every now and then.
What does the drifter lifestyle consist of?
An intricate knowledge of Wi-fi hotspots, meeting a lot of new and interesting people, always sleeping somewhere new, a lot of hotels and restaurants and a lot of doing odd jobs for money.
Doesn't sound that different to my life.
Do you and your buddy arrive in town, get temporary dishwasher jobs, befriend locals and solve their personal problems, then leave town in your Corvette with background music?
I'm more likely to do stuff like mowing lawns or washing cars and yes I befriend locals. I've got friends all over. Helping them with their personal problems not so much.
Just jokin' with ya, I was referring to a very old TV show called Route 66, about two buddies who drifted from town to town in a corvette. They lived hand to mouth and found drama wherever they went. You actually sound like you've found the life that suits you, and I admire that. If you're ever in Seattle DM me!
I feel bad for your situation. Sorry if i'm only allowed one question but if not I have a couple?
Do you have a car? (I've tried sleeping in my car and it fucking sucked every time i did, no matter what)
What are your favourite/worst kind of places to spend nights?
Do you travel far away frequently?
Any cool facts about anything at all?
Don't feel bad. I like my life. Also you can ask as many questions as you want.
Do you have a car? (I’ve tried sleeping in my car and it fucking sucked every time i did, no matter what)
Yes I do.
"What are your favourite/worst kind of places to spend nights?"
I love having sleep overs. Quality varies depending on where I'm having the sleep over. Hotels if I'm welling to treat myself. The worse places are my car and homeless shelters.
"Do you travel far away frequently?"
No, I mostly travel around my hometown or maybe New York. That's about it.
"Any cool facts about anything at all?"
I once saw a guy win a fight against two guys at the same time. That was some Chuck Norris stuff.
At what age would you say it would become unsustainable. Mainly thinking failing health.
I would say once you are too old and can't take of yourself so about 70.
Ever try hammock camping?
