I used to go down to an industrial area of the city and watch groups drift around a square block back in the early 90's. Used to draw huge crowds along the sidewalks at night, with very little LE action. Was a sight to see. Those f*#kers could drive!!
Pre- F&F drift stories rule.

Wish I had some videos of them working to show the local road construction crews here. Takes them six days of closed roads just to start bringing equipment to the job site.

I feel your pain, I live in Boston. Infrastructure in the US is pretty bad considering we are the richest nation in the world. European countries like Switzerland are supposed to have amazing roads.

Not to mention Japan's telecom infrastructure is mainly all fiber... the initial cost was probably a lot more but in the long run it's well worth it because it leaves them a lot of room for expansion. Here in the states we still have copper everywhere... and even in new subdivisions and construction areas they're still laying down copper
