This Is Absolutely Not The Way To Drift A Nissan 240SX

I feel bad for the Nissan 240SX. I really do. I can remember when it was actually a respectable car, a fun and affordable little performance coupe for people who needed some rear-wheel-drive action in their lives. These days it seems all of them have been snatched up by idiots who think they know how to drift.

And things often end badly for these poor 240SX-es. Take this video, which shows what is literally the worst drift attempt I have ever seen. There's no hyperbole in that statement. Not this time. Literally. The. Worst.

I don't know exactly how this went down, but it appears his front wheels were turned but he failed to kick the rear end out at all. Maybe he didn't work the clutch right; maybe it was a mechanical failure. Either way, he keeps on driving after he curbs it, because that's what the 240SX does: it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.

Poor 240SX. Is this the fate that awaits the BRZ and FR-S in about 15 years?
