Drifting, Lithuanian Garage Style
“Running out of space to drift? Do as the Lithuanians do and just drift in your garage. Just make sure Krisčius moves anything that might be flammable.”

ATC - All Around The World (la la la la la la la la)
“‘Around the World (La La La La La)’ is a song most popularly sung by the music group ATC, later called A Touch of Class.

One of my mix CDs mostly consists of Initial D: Best Song Collection 1998 - 2004. The anime series Initial D is about drifting and the world of illegal street-racing in Japan.

“Much the way Ford’s in-car driving coach aims to help drivers maximize their fuel efficiency, so a new iPhone app from Toyota Sweden hopes to help them reduce their emissions.”
