Sharking is a parking phenomenon where a group of people in vehicles circle a completely full parking lot in an attempt to take the first spot someone else vacates. The end result is a line of vehicles circling around a parking lot, much like sharks in the movies.
"This parking lot is full." "How do you know?" "Do you see all the people sharking for spots?" "I guess we're gonna have to park at the strip mall a block away."
1.) A popular animé and manga with an emphasis on car racing, specifically drifting techniques. 2.) One of the most popular arcade games all over the world, named, and modeled after the animé/manga. It allows players to save their car's tuning information on a credit-card-sized magnetic card. Each new version of the game (currently, there are three) features new cars, new tracks, new conditions, improved physics, and better balancing of the cars.
Check out any book store, and you'll probably find the (somewhat butchered) Tokyopop translation of the manga. In most video game stores, or any stores selling animé, you should be able to find the animé series. And the game can be found in any decently large arcade. (Initial D is one of the most expensive arcade machines, ranking up with Bemani machines)
