    After spending the weekend at FormulaDrift St. Louis (which is actually held in Illinois, but we'll get to that) with Torque Motorsport, I decided to ask something I have wanted to since I learned that Illinois was real; why do you drive as terrible as the stereotype? How come you dare brag about Chicago when it's the only city worth mentioning? WHY DO YOU DRIVE SO AGGRESSIVELY FOR NO REASON? So today, I grab my sun screen and ask the illinois car people of the world those very questions in my terrible interview style. Don't forget to subscribe if you liked this one, you can do that here - bit.ly/3kXgWr0

Mad props to the owner for resisting the urge to make it another ratted out, budget stanced, over heating, plastic ebay body kit having, torn seat, hentai wrapped, 200lbs of subs in the trunk, straight piped raspy VQ braaap POS that slides off the road into a ditch when they encounter the slightest bend.
