I would chase them down and beat them senseless with a lug wrench.

Where do you think that was filmed? It looks like a LHD car and he's driving on the right but the houses in the background look European.

Note that in 99% of all European countries, they drive LHD cars.

Thank you for pointing that out. I was suggesting that while it could be in the United States, the houses in the background looked European. Given the origin of "drifting" as a spectator sport in Japan, I would have expected to see RHD.

N. Euro is my guess -- by the blurry looks of the license plates and what might be Fina flags in the background.

could be wrong...

Idiot screaming on the video
Ah! Szia... {undiscrenable} . . jo! Ahh ahhh!

Translation:
Ah! Hi! {undisernable - could be the driver's name, Lehel ? } Good! (squeeling like a girl)
I also hear Good! Good! a couple of times in the background towards the end of the clip.

I just love the way the idiot recording the clip squeals like a baby at the end as well.

"wonder what he would have sounded like had the beemer collided with oncoming traffic"

You would likely hear bones cracking and muted pleas for life through a blood filled mouth, then I'de stop hitting him with my lug wrench.
