Hoon Of The Day: Iron Chef Drift Cuts A Cucumber!

Ok, so it's not really Iron Chef, and yeah, we're still not sure we're sold on drifting as a "sport." But we're pretty sure after we saw this here hoontastic effort, you're probably able to sell at least one of us on being able to call cucumber-cutting a "sport" at least on par with NASCAR. – Ray Wert

Woah... Not sure I'd want to be the camera man, but now I finally know what a car with a blade attached to the front looks like.

I heard NISMO is considering this accessory for the upcoming GT-R

This must be some spy footage of some secret testing

@Miscellanea: They should definitely put the camera man on some sort of suicide watch.

That's a rather elaborate way for a cucumber to commit seppuku.

That reminds me of this stunt from the short-lived ABC gem "Master of Champions":

Ah, that show was the closest thing to a trainwreck on TV: So unspeakably awful that you just HAD to watch.

Looks like testing of Japan's newest circumcision device is moving along smoothly.

Well that makes the SECOND strangest thing I've ever seen done with a cucumber. The first was at a "special show" in Taiwan a number of years ago and.....well, I'd rather not think about it.

Maybe I'm not jaded enough, but I kinda thought that was cool.

Another day at work wasting time on Jalopnik, and I have now seen everything.

Until tomorrow, then!

That seals it, I'm building a bayonet for my 93' 240SX tonight. I've been thinking about doing it for a while now, and this is just the impetus I needed.
