Imagine someone in a Camry passing you sideways on the interstate like that?

Buy tires often?

Are these roads patrolled? Are these a bunch of car-crazy (or just plain crazy) oil moguls or royalty or what? Where's the money come from to just totally destroy Camry's for fun?

I've gotta go see about that.

Anyone know where that occurs? Kuwait?

CL group buy?

Those videos were filmed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They secretly spread the word via SMS, and the show rolls until the cops find out, and bust their fun. These guys just gather around to watch... it’s actually fun to be there sometimes. In Saudi Arabia, all the roads are nice and wide, perfect for this kind of thing, so these guys just meet up on the outskirts of the city where no one really travels. However, in the second video, they were doing their drifting in the middle of the highway for thrills or something; you know how kids love to dare each other. These guys are usually between 15-22, no one older would a crazy thing like that.

But in any case, the license plats are taken off when they drift, and you can bet these guys will out run the cops with that type of skill. The cycle is hard to break. They have all kinds of undercover units to catch these guys sooner, but until then….

They go for the Camry's and Accords because they are so reliable and take the beating well, i think Toyota should use these guys to advertise for them.

You should see when the big guys show up with LS430's and Gs's drifting like that... makes you almost wanna cry.

I wish i had them, i saw them on an actual VHS tape at a friends house in the summer while i was there.

This 16 year old tried to copy in a BRANDDDDDDDDDDDDDD NEW Land cruiser, rolled over and killed himself.....

After a stories like that, cops get VERYYY strict about it, but a few weeks later, things calm down again, and the trend continues.

I remember onne night seeing an S55 AMG doing doughnuts!!!

You will see all kinds of strange things when a famous soccer club wins, or even worse when the national team wins a big game, you can bet you wont get any sleep that night from all the tires....

Found some more.

There are a few interesting ones in this batch. They are now racing a bunch of Kia's. What I noticed in this one and the others is how they would get into 360 spins and right in the middle of it, they would just immediately reverse the spin. It doesnt look real the way they can just reverse a spin like that. They have a lot of skill.

This is when reality hits. The real dangers these crazy people get into when they are out watching this stuff and performing these stunts. I wonder how much money they have, because it seems like after the car gets trashed they still want to keep drifting all over the place.

This dude is on a PEDAL bike doing this crazy stuff!!! That looks cool as hell. He must have been pedaling his azz off, cause he seems to be going kinda fast.

Well.....if the Saudi police are anywhere NEAR as lazy as the Saudi military, I can understand morons driving on public roads like this. Laws mean nothing unless they are enforced.

I guess the only good side to this is that it shows how well toyota can take a beating!!!
At least the driver is capable of controlling the car, but just for how long. Still pretty dangerous
