There is likely no end to the amount of fun one can have with an empty parking lot, a few cones and a willing vehicle. Add two capable machines to the mix and the enjoyment increases exponentially. When those happen to be two Toyota GT86 coupes, all that's missing is the not-so judicious application of one's right foot. Two pro drift drivers recently got the chance to fling the GT86 around in a quick battle, and the result is a video that shows just how controllable the GT86 is right out of the box.

While we could think of a handful of other sports cars that are as capable right from the show room floor, the list of those with price tags as slim as the GT86 and its Scion and Subaru brethren is considerably thinner. Hit the jump for a few lessons in car control.Continue reading Pair of Toyota GT86s dual in parking lot drift battle

Absolutely.

Spelling Nazi! :neener:

No, this would make him a Part of Speech Nazi. "Dual" is an adjective implying two, "duel" is a noun implying contest or combat.

Yes Mr. Eyler!

huh?

Edit
Nvm, I get your point. However, I assume the author intended "duel" making his/her spelling it "dual" simply a spelling mistake. This means "spelling nazi" is correct.

Shenanigans. That would mean every conflict of "your and you're," "there, their, and they're," "affect and effect," and so on are spelling errors. Nay, they are usage errors. Though, to be fair, i totally understand what you are saying and am just being a pretentious English teacher.

No you don't. No soup for you.

Although "duel," in this context, is supposed to be a verb, no?

Yeah, it's kind of like a gerund (except no -ing, except in the case of "dueling" which is a true gerund) in that it's both a verb and a noun; the noun "duel" is derived from the verb "duel." In the title's case, it's used in the verb form. Should've made that more clear, thanks for catching that.

I'm just enjoying the fact that every post in this thread is spelled/formatted perfectly because nobody wants to be called out on anything dumb when discussing spelling/usage/grammar.

Lol, I did goof by not including the verb explanation, but that's because I'm lazy and type fast.

Also, I teach literature, not grammar. Thank the lord for that...

Interesting thread.. opcorn:

You would have hated me. I did great in grammar, but I always pissed my english teachers off when it came to literature. I'm an engineer though, I've learned to admit my mind works in a certain way that is condusive to "interpretive" thinking.

I was the kid that question and argued all the reasons english teachers give for why a certain action symbolizes some greater meaning. For instance, why does the boy taking his shirt off in Lord of the Flies symbolize a departure from civilization, why isn't he just hot!? they're on a damn hot beach.

I agree with that. Some symbolism is crap, but other stuff is good. Gatsby's green light, for example.

I have no clue what you mean, but I must say, I'm deeply turned on by the use of the word "gerund" for some reason.

No you don't. No soup for you.

AHA! I was never a "soup" guy. You need to do better than that!

You would have hated me.

I love you....:ghey:

This is me exactly.

Why did the author say the sky was blue? Uhhh... because it is?

Anyways, looks like a dueling dual of GT86's!
