FUCK YOU SCHOOL, I WAS AT SCHOOL ALL DAY ALL FUCKING WEEK, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU SAY I'M ABSENT. WHY DO I GET PUNISHED BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.
I lost my fucking license because apparently my parents will NOT take my side about anything, ever.
I wasn't taking my anger out ON my car, driving is just a stress reliever for me. I wasn't speed shifting bouncing off the rev limiter or anything, i was just going faster than i should. I thought i was within my limits.
The car is just as well as it was before the incident. I ended up not hitting a single thing, somehow. I would like to brag and say 'car control lolol i knew what i was doing' but i really just got lucky. I had car control to a degree, but honestly it was just spinning and i was doing everything in my power to not hit that brick mailbox.
Agree with the stress reliever part, for me driving is the best way to relax and to get rid of all that accumulated stress and stop being depressed. But with winter and stuff, driving ain't the best.
I'm like, having nothing to get rid of stress and stuff it's killing me. Winter really isn't my season, it makes me feel all depressed and bad.
And, watch out on speeding, I'm no slow poke, but whenever you feel like you're going a lil too fast, you probably are.
There's a layer of about 1 cm of snow covering the roads right now, driving home from the movie theater was so much fun. However, everyone else was driving ~30 under the speed limit (so they were driving backwards 5 mph in my neighborhood).
It's like my station wagon's birthday party and everyone else decides to crash it. :(
How the hell are people driving 30 under the limit when there's 1cm of snow? Guess you guys are on four seasons or summer tire, or something. Well even though people even here can be stupid in snow. But I still don't get it, brake earlier, bigger distance between your car and the car in front, plan ahead what other will probably do, and you'll be fine. Then the next thing is : Know your car reactions in snow. Then you can go 10 above like you would in the summer.
Surprisingly, my FWD Grand pricks handles perfectly in snow.

I live about 25 miles from DC so that's why. People here can't drive.
Then I advise you to be careful.
So apparently I'm going to a huge rotary meet sunday with like 15 other people/cars. Wasn't too sure about going at first because i don't know any of them but like one or two, but randomly decided to go out on a limb at the last minute. I'll try and take pictures, hopefully not looking like too much of a snob.

Ugh. Why? That's rhetorical -- there is no logical reason to put that on your car. It isn't "cool", it is stupid, and you WILL get laughed at. Maybe not to your face, but it will happen.
A thousand times, [i]no[/i].

Unless you want to feed China with all that rice, don't do it.
I agree with Bradley, if I saw a corolla, saw worse than that already, I'd laugh my ass off.

Whats funny about that is that my Vic will bottom out on it no matter how slow or fast you go. Good thing they have metal struts that go across my underside protecting everything
I want a Vic. They have surprisingly powerful radios for a car that's normally a taxi or squad car.
A manual swap would be fun as shit, I was watching youtube videos of one a while ago.

I can't stop laughing :v:
You kidding me? That car's a beast. I bet he's rolling in the pussy with that kit.
He's probably tired of all the pussy
He's had enough of that muff
He's tamed those dames

Meh .. looking at my car like that makes me sad :(

For a real question.
In my city vehicle, the steering-wheel shakes. Its only the steering-wheel not the car. This only started happening recently and it occurs at all speeds. The only thing that could raise a flag for me, is that someone hit a curb in a turn about 2 months ago. The shaking only started now. Any Ideas? (There was no physical damage)
If the brakediscs or the rims are not flat anymore like a straight line then your steering wheel shakes.. (even .1% lets it shake)
You could also let a axle alignment do at your car
Wonder why the heat isn't working

It hurts to see people's windows/tops open when it's snowing/raining

The rotors are bent due to it being a police-car before it was my city vehicle. It must be the rims.
Speaking of noises and shit with steering parts. Our Lancer has been doing this for a while, while on a rough road it makes metal clinking noises. The noises sound like they're originating from the steering column. It doesn't feel any different from before, no play or anything.
It's like this, but more of a metallic sound than a plastic one.
