Question What's with this?

First off, I'm 27 yrs old so it's not like I'm out of touch with the younger generation auto enthusiast. But why this?





Did I miss something? Since when has it been cool to hang dolls on the back bumper of your car?
Seriously, when I see this I can't help but pull up next to the driver's door and laugh at him.

Some guy in a 240SX was driving next to me a little while ago and looked at me hard as hell like such badass. In my head, I'm like "dude, you have a freakin' doll hanging on your back bumper". LoL

Exactly just drift charms. My buddy had a pair of nuts hanging from his 240... I don't know why, but everyone got a kick when he was sliding and they would hit the ground. Jokes about dragging nuts were thrown around wildly lol.

I've seen it too, but didn't know they were for drifting. I guess I will really start to laugh hard now when I see them on a civic/rsx/any fwd car. LOL

Practice? Pfft! What for? Just lean into the turn, cut the wheel, close your eyes, and hope that your good luck Piccachu doll hanging from your rear bumper guides you thru the turn and avoids that telephone pole.
