Initial D?

[kenaku]

Hello hachi owners. This thread really caught my eye so I wanted to post something. Before I say anymore I'll introduce a little of myself so I won't seem rude. I don't own a hachi-roku, although I wish that I did. I own a 94 Eunos Roadster (aka Mazda Miata) 1800cc with rs watanabe rims. After hearing that I hope I don't get flamed for driving what's known as a girls car. Reason why I choose this car was because it's very underestimated by people much the same as the hachi pre initial D era. The car has potential and is really fun to drive. I'll post pix of my car.

Anyways, I'm also an Initial D fan but just wanted to say there are alot of hidden things in the anime that really helped me out on driving. One obvious example is the tofu run and the cup water. Although I didn't use the water cause it's impractical for me I used my little brother. How I used my little brother was that every morning when I take him to school I pay attention to how much he jerks when I shift gears. Using that I learned some techniques to minimize the shock. Just that one little advice, forced me to pay attention to the car shifting it's weight how to engauge the clutch delicately and also acceleration techniques to control the car. This made pay attention to things you normally wouldn't. Initial D really did gave some great advices if you can really spot them. However, I really hate how it effected the US in a way. For one more and more kids are crashing in the canyons because of initial d just to prove that they can back up their egos. Second effect is the price hike for the hachi. =( I really did want that car! haha But anyways, I'm thinking of making a youtube video of driving techniques that I learned from Initial D and was wondering if anyone would be interested? I asked cause it seems alot of initial D fans are here and I hoped I woudn't get flamed. I just started getting into cars and is even newer to the forum world.
