[QUOTE=Awt2 x;39263395]Im really hoping for this, as It would give me a chance to do something different. Plus, I really need the money. The manager asked me what I would do if someone shit on the bathroom floor, to which I responded "I would simply go in the bathroom, and clean it. I used to clean hospital equipment covered in shit anyway. Its no big deal." He just looked at me in shock.[/QUOTE]
I assume, for the betterment of you and him, that you actually didn't use the word shit. right.
I just came back from driving on the highway with my buddies. I was driving and we were talking and stuff. Then all of the sudden, about 2 cars a head of me, on the right lane. (3 lane highway, i was in the middle one.) the car smashed the right highway wall and came swerving left across the other 2 lanes, hitting the farthest left highway wall. He swerved right in front of me. If i was driving a bit faster, no doubt he would have crashed in to me. Never seen anything like this before. Very scary. We stayed completely silent after that.

the guy was obviously a huge idiot for doing that on public roads (he nearly hit cars and people on the sidewalks so many times), but he does have some driving skill and pretty huge balls. however who thought it was a good idea to upload that to youtube, without even censoring license plates or something. or well glad he did not do it, if you get my [i]drift.[/i] V:v:V

also I thought this literally made the whole video for me.

Ha. This one kid who is a bit of a douche to everyone at my school was next to me at a stop light, but I was driving my car while he was in a minivan. He looked at me surprised since I guess no one expects the quiet kid to drive around a muscle car. Needless to say I dusted his ass at the light, haha :v:

Serves him right.
Because of idiots like him, we pay a shitload to get our cars insured.

Shuto Express/Freeway Speedway. Also, Wanggan Midnight. Don't forget Too Fast Too Furious; DANGER TO MANIFOLD

What car do you have?
Not sure if I should attempt to remove and change the radio unit in my Civic on my own or just take it to a garage and get it down. Looks like a lengthy process from the Youtube videos and don't think I have the correct tools anyway. Fitting charge is £30 from Halfords which is quite a lot.

Didn't you slide your car into a pole on the street trying to drift?

It's freakin' awesome! My swim coach drives similar to this but without the drifting everywhere. He has a Mazdaspeed 3 and drives so damn fast that the people that were supposed to follow us got lost :dance:

I was driving in the left lane on a highway once and I saw a car flying towards me, upside down, over the median. I had checked my blind spot seconds ago, and knowing nobody was there I swerved right a lane and that car smashed into the lane right next to me :tinfoil:
What an idiot to drive like that in traffic. Makes me want to wring his neck.
Went to an automated car wash, and got the most expensive option (10 bucks)
After 4-5 months of not being washed at all, my car looks like a completely different car now :v:

No, i broke one of my E-brake cables, but note, i did this while no other cars were around.

Wasn't it Hell Strike?
Need to air up my tires, ugh.
Ain't it the worst eh? Plugging a air source up to the valve and waiting a few seconds for them to inflate. Sounds like a real slavery type of maintenance. :v:
Then having to use three different gauges to try to find out what PSI I put in, and hoping that is is enough, but not too much, so I can get perfect tire wear.
I am a perfectionist.
Well that here is your problem, I put 30 psi in all four tires as wrote(Unless I go to the track where I deflate them a bit) and let it be :v:
Shouldn't you inflate your tires when you race?
lower pressure = tires cover a wider area = higher friction = better traction
I remember being told that slightly under inflated tires gave you better traction at launch, thus a better 0-60' and a better time.
Over inflated tires tens to balloon and bounce instead of sticking.
Hey tirefag from last page, inflate to the psi indicated by the manufacturer on your b column/glove box, not the max on the tire.
Just in case you didn't know
I'm not an idiot.

This is what is now my first car.
Me and my Dad dug it out of a gully where it had been sitting for ten years, put $4,000 in it, and it's ready to drive. I'd really suggest buying/finding a broken piece of shit and fixing it if you have the knowhow. If not, and I HATE imports, but get a volvo like everyone said.[/QUOTE]

Just look at those slow mo vids of dragster tires; they flex a ton because they're at 7psi

Guess what came up for sale in my state.

Fairly decent price compared for what they go for in Japan.
I wish more of you guys weren't so obsessed with Japanese cars, sure it's fine, and I don't really care, but I want some more interesting discussion, not just: I lowered my civic, or look at this cool skyline, oh shit, I bought a supra. What type of x/y/z 2 door riced thing should I buy.

Anyways I'm going to go die now as apparently my body has decided to become deathly ill as soon as I headed to bed.
Curse this non-mechanical body...
