I like snow, do mad slides and shit without ruining your tires
Hopefully I get 1 more winter outta my Goodyear Nordics. Next year I'm really hoping to get Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7's or R's, but they're $240 a Tire for my size.
On another not so relevant topic, my dad said that if I wanted a motorcycle that he probably cound find me a Honda 750 for pretty cheap. Has anyone ever rode one before? is it a good starter bike?

Its doable, but you have to remember that once you get into the powerband you'll get sudden acceleration. This can catch people out pretty badly in a turn and make them overshoot the corner.

You should be removing any and all valuables from the vehicle when you leave it unattended. This is crime prevention 101 ahaha
I've had my ipod and old cellphone in my glovebox for multiple months now If someone stole them I wouldn't mind, my speakers and head unit cost way more
My brother bought a stereo for his old Tegra, and the night after he put it in, it got stolen along with the subs he had just bought. But it's his own fault for putting that shit in a car with a busted window...

why ruin a good car with a v8
dude are you retarded. twin turbo'd v8 is the shit. You get instant torque, awesome ability to spool turbos and maximum horsepower. plus, 5mge are so fucking heavy the twin turbo 1uz is lighter

This is crime prevention 101 ahaha[/QUOTE] Its ok I live in an affluent white suburb, I'm not concerned about things getting stolen. The car didn't have functioning locks for 3 years and was never broken into, despite me leaving the GPS on the dash, iPod in the center console, iPad in the back seat, backpack with laptop in the passenger seat, etc. Long story short we have virtually no vehicular-related crimes here.
If I'm gonna leave something of value ($100+) in my car, I'll just put a sweater over it or something
MONDAY THINGS GET DONE I shall get off my lazy ass Pay $40 to have my truck pass inspection Get a job app for the jiffylube-like place Apply online for a job putting furniture together AND THEN I SHALL DREAM OF THINGS I'd BE ABLE TO AFFORD dreams 4 lyfe

I still always take down my GPS, and put anything valuable on the floorboards under my spare sun reflector thingy. I [I]always[/I] lock my car if it's going to leave my line of sight.
Leaving valuable things in the car? Leave a gun in the open :v:
[QUOTE=Fergeh;37775021]Is it true the coasting down hills etc in neutral doesn't actually save you any fuel?[/QUOTE] It's negligible. What you can't ignore is the large safety concern where your brakes are bearing all the weight of your car without engine braking to help it along.
With an automatic, don't even bother putting it in neutral when going down hill, the only thing you'll do is reduce it's life.
its a autotragic, let it do it's thing while you cry yourself to sleep that you should have got a stick shift

[QUOTE=ThermalArc;37777864]its a autotragic, let it do it's thing while you cry yourself to sleep that you should have got a stick shift[/QUOTE] I like my 4 speed autotragic :c
[QUOTE=WolvesSoulZ;37777874]I like my 4 speed autotragic :c[/QUOTE] I like my 5-speed semi-automatic. :3 (tiptronic would be ten times cooler if it didn't autoshift at redline)
[QUOTE=sHiBaN;37777828]It's negligible. What you can't ignore is the large safety concern where your brakes are bearing all the weight of your car without engine braking to help it along.[/QUOTE] in virginia its illegal to coast in neutral

[QUOTE=WolvesSoulZ;37777874]I like my 4 speed autotragic :c[/QUOTE] I like my job truck's 6 speed autotragic too. doesn't mean that most of the car wouldn't be way more fuel efficient with a proper stick shift and driving methods
why would you even coast in neutral though
