One of our favorite US drifters, Vaughn Gittin JR aka "Hey Buddy" aka "Don't call me JR", is currently travelling all over Japan in a 2010 Ford Mustang and doing the thing he loves best: drifting. Of course, he's also meeting up with his drifting idols and friends, all while spinning the tires in Ford's latest Mustang, the car he'll be campaigning this year on Falken Tire's drift team. While we couldn't join him on this trip, he did want to make sure you were able to catch his trip, all viewable on the following YouTube clips:
