I stumbled across this S15 on a friend’s Flickr, and after a bit of reading, I found out there’s a bit of a story behind it.

This car was purchased in memory of our son Drew, who died tragically in a motor cross accident in March of 2006. His passion was drifting and was actively involved with Tony Angelo, a professional driver and President of Drift Alliance. The Silvia appeared at two drifting events this past year on the east coast, Englishtown NJ and Wall Township Speedway. The car was displayed in the Drift Alliance panic area at both events. In addition, the Silvia S15 won two trophies during its first car show season in 2007.
I went to High School with Joe and this is a local car… hoping to do a feature on it once it warms up around here!
