King of the Road

Every country has their own signature vehicles. Japan has the Dekotora and Guatemala has the Chicken Bus, here in the Philippines it's the Jeepney. They were originally abandoned jeeps the U.S. bases left us in world war II. Now converted for public transportation, the Philippine Jeepney is the "king of the road".

The engine of the Jeepney does not usually generate enough power for it to drift, if ever it does, I don't think the body will be able to withstand the stress, let alone the tires. But what if someone actually made a series about them. It has been known for Philippine shows to rip off something from abroad. So if they ripped off something like Initial D and give it a pretty good story line featuring the Jeepney, then I'm in.
