Reventón;3223327On the subject of cars, what causes brakes to squeak, and what can one do to limit or fix the problem? My TL's brakes squeak every so often, ever since I had the brakes changed.
A few TL owners complain that it's the car itself (they get it too), or I've heard that it's the cold air.
Well I did ask one of my friends about this, and he said I should be better off using DDR2 RAM. He helped out a lot on this really. 👍
Well the thing is...... (see below)
Yeah, but that is half the problem. If I get a car I know I could help my parents do some errands or somewhat, but then would the appreciate if I modify the car up like a race car? (like welding a roll cage, bucket seats, safety harness, engine swap, etc.) Add this with my sickening habit of wanting to street race and touge racing, do you really think it is a good idea for me to get a car?
I don't know, maybe it is just something that you wouldn't understand. I'm not saying that I'll get recognize by street racing with someone, rather I could improve my driving skill that driving on the street. 👍 Racing on a track could only do so much. Like is there ever a track near your area that is open 24 hours, 365 days a year and where anyone can enter and just start racing?The real thing on the street is no street racing. You'll by no means make a name on the streets by driving a freagin' car too fast. Street racing is nothing to be proud of, if you want to race, visit a local race track for a day, but please, keep it clean when on the streets, you're only bringing people's lives into danger
Also, why put such effort in a car? Roll cages and engine swaps, now there's a waste of money right there, use your money for your car and education 👍 (Why even buy a car, what about public transport?)
Putting money into cars is a thing you do when you're a guy with too much money and too little to do. Seriously, don't go down there already, put your money into education and your future rather than pointless cars
As for spending money on a car is almost natural for a gearhead/petrolhead like me. I wouldn't mind skipping lunch and dinner just so I could save enough money to buy fuel for my car. Yeah, that sounds really sick of me...... 
As for my future, I want to become a professional drifter or a race driver. So you still think I have a chance to be like Fredric Aasbø was in Norway?
From this I've come to the conclusion that you should buy neither.I don't know, maybe it is just something that you wouldn't understand.

If I was really desperate I wouldn't mind breaking into a race track in the middle of the night just to get some track time.
Improve your driving skills? How about you start by just driving before you get into racing, never mind the illegal street version. Walk before you run.
Why do you need a track open 24/365? They have hours for a reason - to keep safety crews on hand so you don't die.
Break in to a track? If you're looking for the short road to jail, you've found it.
I love cars and driving, too, but I'll be damned if I'm going to spend my hard earned money on horsepower gains just so I can shave a few seconds off of my 10 minutes drive to work.
I'm not one to try to steer people away from a desired profession, but professional drifter? Seriously? Sure, there are a few that have made it big, but the vast majority wrapped themselves around a light pole years ago. Think you'll honestly still be drifting/racing when you're 65? And don't give me that "I won't need to because I'll have enough money to retire before then" line, 'cause you won't.As for my future, I want to become a professional drifter or a race driver.

Would the extra "a" stand for asinine?
Modifying a car with safety features isn't going to appreciate it the way you might think. Your car's value (whether it's being sold or not) isn't increased by the money you've dumped into it, i.e., it doesn't go up $4,000 just because you added something worth $4K. In fact, mods like a safety cage & bucket seats will more than likely depreciate it the car's value because people will probably not want that in their car. Some of the only real ways to have a car's value go up is to have an older car in prime condition, a rare car no longer made, or have enough mods to actually set the car's value upwards (of which, you still will probably not regain your money spent when it's sold or appraised).
Yeah, why would you care about that in the first place? No one cares, esp. not those guys you might beat because they'll just talk trash. If you really want a name on the streets, it's easier to achieve by running from the police constantly than racing, though I highly suggest you do neither.
No, but why does it need to be open 24/365? But to answer, your question, yeah, there are tracks like that. Near Dallas, we have Motorsport Ranch & Eagles Canyon Raceway that are open nearly 90% of the year from usually 6-8AM to 5-7PM (due to lack of lights).
