Best of '24 | Takeover Kid in Existential Crisis After Losing to Air Bud at Drift Competition
December 6, 2024

"...How could this happen?!"

ATLANTA—Jake Thompson, a frequent attendee of takeovers, found himself grappling with an existential crisis after an unforeseen loss in the first round against Air Bud, the four-legged sensation. The competition, usually human-dominated, took an amusing turn that left the takeover kid questioning whether he could drive at all.


Jake, known for poorly drawn donuts at takeover events, expressed his realization, saying, "I participate in takeovers regularly, and I know I have the skills to match. Losing to Air Bud in the first round doesn't make sense. Maybe I need to just swing it harder. How could this happen?!"


On the other side of the unexpected victory, Air Bud, the canine drifter, responded to his triumph, saying "bark." The victory bark echoed through the venue, leaving spectators in awe of the unexpected canine prowess on the drift course.


Jake's existential crisis serves as a reminder that you probably reevaluate driving if you can't beat a dog. The drift community witnessed a blend of amusement and surprise as Air Bud, initially considered an underdog, emerged victorious. The takeover kid finds himself at a crossroads, learning that in the world of drift competitions, unexpected challengers can come from the most unlikely places and he can't beat any of them.
