Why The Humble Toyota Corolla Became A King Of Drift Racing
The AE86 generation of Corolla is perhaps most famous for starring in the drifting anime Initial D.
That fiction has its roots in reality. The AE86 a great choice for
drifting, if you can find one today that hasn’t been abused to death.
That’s
something you can’t do with modern ones, as the Corolla lineup has gone
exclusively front-wheel drive—and boring. But the Corolla’s legacy to
the sport is important and thriving even today, and for that reason it
deserves more respect than it probably gets.

These Are Important Factors Of A Relationship To Me
Every successful relationship is successful for the same exact reasons
3. The most important factor in a relationship is not communication, but respect
7. You and your partner will grow and change in unexpected ways; embrace it
Remember, if you’re going to spend decades together, some really heavy shit will hit (and break) the fan. Among major life changes people told me their marriages went through (and survived): changing religions, moving countries, death of family members (including children), supporting elderly family members, changing political beliefs, even changing sexual orientation, and in a couple cases, gender identification.
Amazingly, these couples survived because their respect for each other allowed them to adapt and allow each person to continue to flourish and grow.

3. The most important factor in a relationship is not communication, but respect
- Respect that they have different hobbies, interests, and perspectives from you. Just because you would spend your time and energy differently, doesn’t mean it’s better/worse.
- Respect that they have an equal say in the relationship, that you are a team, and if one person on the team is not happy, then the team is not succeeding.
- No secrets. If you’re really in this together and you respect one another, everything should be fair game. Have a crush on someone else? Discuss it. Laugh about it. Had a weird sexual fantasy that sounds ridiculous? Be open about it. Nothing should be off-limits.
