Well, I'm still 22, and as of now I don't care if I will get killed or not, I know how you feel Mspec. But like you before in your teen years, I'm still on this position. But I joined numerous of sport (legit) events like the SCCA autocross (which I beat a Corvette on my Integra GS-R). But right now I'm 'confined' to my new Protege5 for one year, maybe by driving my car casually (the car doesn't handle or take-off as what I expected) maybe I will quit racing in the streets and lean more toward to legit racing on my (future wagon) Forester 2.5XT, but that will be in the prospective future. Its like cigarette (which I don't smoke) it hard to get it off.

I really get tired of people saying why other people shouldn't drive fast based on thier driving when they were our age. I know that you mean it in a good way, but you're basically calling me and the people that drive like me as today's problem causers.

Excuse me, but --are we having a conversation? Do you mean 'you' in a general sort of way or 'you' as in specifically me? If you mean me, I don't recall saying anything to you or about you.

Then I hope you get through it okay without dinging anything up. And that is all.

Oh God.. Guilty of taking shopping carts in racing lines and doing powerslides..How about immitating engine revving sounds when you're doing your homework, with a set of pedals down underneath the table for the footwork to be done? :D
 
I know so far, for the past 7 years of my driving I haven't totalled a car in history. But thanks for the advise, I listen to a more experienced driver.
 
If at least 99% of the money that you put into your car went towards making it run better of faster.

People comment on how well/fast you drive when your driving at your "personal" low speed.(this only counts if you've never had any speeding tickets or accidents)

You enjoy the smell of your exhaust/gasoline/average car grime.

If you've ever asked your girlfriend to use a drop of gasoline instead of perfume.
 
like many others,

walking to class in school, seeing others as a "opponent" and i walk infront of them with my right hand back and forth as if i was shifting gears and making car noise in the back of my throat lol.

Encouraging my dad to beat the car next to us?

wake up in the morning and play GT3 before skool, after skool and when i goto sleep?

Feet acting like im shifting gears and braking while im at school listenning to teacher?

Drifting Shopping Carts Rules
 
your only a true driver if...

-you are at the lights and lean over to rip a fart, forgetting there is another driver beside you then covering it up by pretending to reach for the glove compartment.

HAHAHA!:lol: How the **** do you drift shopping carts? Those tires stick like glue...unless you have pastic tires 0_o. We only have rubber tires at our Superstores:p
 
When you tense up on a red light and immediately press the gas right on the green light and accelerate hard even if your not intending on going over the speed limit..:D

You have to use the same techniques as a real car. Feint drift works very well. It also helps if you lift the rear just a tiny bit so it slides more easily.

Only just noticed this one.

What a load of rubbish.

So never driving front wheel drive cars would mean not wanting to drive any of the following:

Mini Cooper's - old and new
Integra, Accord or Civic type R's
Renault Clio Williams, Clio 172/182
Pug 205 1.9 Gti
Any JWRC rally car
Most Ice racing cars
Most BTCC and ETCC race cars.

Was Paddy Hopkirk not a real driver? Funny, I thought he won the Monti back in '64 in a Mini Cooper S. Same for the two Celicas that won there class at last years Bathurst 24hrs, by 9 laps, over rear wheel drive V8 Holdens.

A true driver is one who would not make a judgement on a car until they had driven it, they would also want to try anything.

Remember any car is fun on an empty snow covered carpark.

Tell me a real driver would not want a go at the picture below......

Fiat Cinquecento Sporting, my wife has the road version.

Same as the picture below, only a 1.1. But very light (730 kilos) and go-kart like handling.

May not be fast but stick it on a tight and twisty road and its so much fun.

Heard of both Supercharged and Turbo'd Cinquecento.

The rally spec version in my post above was turbo'd.
