This is becoming a war of literal meanings.
They wouldn't print this sh-t if it meant something else.

It's either a sport or a hobby. That is why there are only two options.

ENOUGH ALREADY.

THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY.

HOW EVER YOU TAKE THAT IS UP TO YOU.

IT'S DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS SO, IT'S ETCHED IN STONE AND NOT TO BE INTERPRETED.

SPORT AND HOBBY HAVE BEEN LAID OUT

AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE

BECAUSE SHADOW DRIFTER SAYS SO!

Thankyou Shadow :cheers:

Looks like Drifting is a sport to me, as well as a hobby. This has been said, but you just will not open your eyes, Street Fighter........ :indiff:


;)
 
Drifting was a hobby, is a hobby, and always will be a hobby.
Although it has a sport application, doesn't give you the right to say, "drifting is a sport".
I will drag this on until you all die. Don't you see?

Your just insane.......that has become abundantly clear. You constantly misread posts, and dispute common sense. You cannot make people choose between "Hobby, or "Sport", because it is both of those things. Every definition points to it even, and you just keep pushing blindly forward ignoring every piece of evidence. Have fun with your madness, I want no part of it...........


;)
 
Yep and if a mod actually took a look at this thread it would get moved for being in the wrong forum. This is the GT3 Drifting forum. There is a forum for RL drifting discussions.
