Adolescent Giraffe (Cleetus) Rides in Freedom Drift Miata *Smacks 350Z Booty*

[@Bloodlineskater]

I love how Cleetus is a drag guy (straight line) and Taylor is a drifter (turny boi) yet when they get together the content couldn't be any better!

[@Taylordrifts]

Hanging with Cleetus, James, and Cooper is always so much fun. They're all such great people. What you see on camera is what you get in real life. Can't say enough about those dudes.

[@ricky107_]

Exactly!!

[@jt1317]

Best of both worlds one might say

[@andrewbair1878]

Now we’re gonna see cleetus in drag.. and not the straight line kind..

Taylor and cleetus should build a pro am/2 car and go dominate merica drifting

[@Ajrubiofoo]

#BuildDrifting I support this message

[@JamesYoung61]

Cleetus said that he had a new build coming up in his last video, now I recon it is going to be a drift car, he loves sliding Neighbour around. Nothing like hanging out with your mates, brilliant and I hope to see more with the Cleetus crew.

[@obsessedracing7843]

I just want to take a sec and thank you for this gold Taylor!!!

[@Taylordrifts]

This is my favorite video ever of mine by far. lol

[@MaddMeister]

Goo Ben, shredding Taylor's 350 XD see y'all this weekend 👊

[@coachmcguirkmrs8805]

Is there an event this weekend

[@killercurl1]

i dont watch you often but, damn good drifts dude....... keep up the practice. i hope your having fun

[@smileybear420]

Call of duty hit marker haha

[@zkipa]

That was a top notch upload. I thought for sure cleeter was gonna send neighbor right into that wall coming in as hot as he was but he pulled through. I bet some of the old bartle leaked on the trousers on that one. Taylor's oval runs were super legit, looked really good, excellent driving. Looks like the miata is getting dialed in and hes comfortable with it now. All that hard work finally paying off with some serious rippage. Love it But also not a super big fan of how much the rear squats in comparison to the front on the miata. Idk if that's the look that is desired, but I feel like this miata would look significantly meaner and more rowdy with a rear bumper that has some harder angles and isn't so low. The back kinda looks like a stock rear bumper with a goofy home depot skirt added on the bottom. It looks like the rear is lot lower than the skirts or the front while driving, which seems kind of odd.. But maybe I'm just so used to looking at all the fd cars. Also, it's not my car and doesn't matter what I think, but just though I'd throw my 2 cents out there if he ever sends the back into the wall and is thinking about changing it. Great video tho love the content

[@Taylordrifts]

Unfortunately theres only basically one kit style available for the miata and this is it. I'm also not a fan of the rear bumper being way lower. The car is almost level has a little reverse rake to help with the way it drives, and it does squat a lot with the super soft rear springs which is what makes it so fast in drift.

[@chevtothemax]

Man you need to take a trip to shred up the Burnyard at some point.

[@Sauerbrew777]

I love that you colab with Cleetus! My 2 fav youtubers in one video is always an awesome thing.

[@iamthesnowgod]

Chiming in from 2024 here. So amazing to see Taylor showing how it's done. Even as this channel has progressed (and wow, its HAS!) Taylor himself hasn't changed at all. Loyal to his roots and his viewers. Somehow, he always reminds me of that buddy you've got in your life. The one with knowledge, resources and means but always shares it with his friends. It's one my of my favorite aspects of this channel and keeps me here.

[@Taylordrifts]

Thank you for this comment! This made my day!

[@andrewsmith2948]

One of the coolest vids so far. Taylor you truly are a hell of a wheel man and a car builder without a huge chunk of someone else’s money. That’s respectful and why I’ll always watch.

[@Taylordrifts]

Thank you! It's my favorite video I've made for sure. I am especially proud of the Miata since I was able to do almost everything myself with the exception of the cage, exhaust, paint, and tune.

I'm so glad you two are doing videos together. My two favorite car guys at the same time.

[@gabrielhathcock4513]

I don’t understand why Taylor isn’t driving formula D. He is an absolutely phenomenal driver. He would definitely give the pro’s a run for their money. Taylor please give this some serious thought! Going FD will more than likely get you more subscribers.

Cleetus should totally sponsor you for FD.. I have said all along after watching you since you first started KZbin that you should get into FD. Your driver skill has improved so much and at such a fast pace that you could go places. I love the videos that you guys do together I have been subscribed to both of you almost since you started and it’s great to see two of my favorite people in the same video. Your personalities are perfect together..

[@devilskullBEL]

What do you mean, just an inch from dragging? He would've ripped it clean off multiple times if it wasn't for that flexible stuff. The rear needs to be raised at least an inch. I get that the car squats when going full throttle, but it already has a shit ton of reverse rake when parked and we all know reverse rake makes baby Jebas cry...
