Exclamation Half Inch Away From Being The First Crushed Z!!!

i just found out how helpful and how important is it to have the TCS on! two weeks ago (after my SAT exam) i was so excited and thought to do a drift......... (too much initial D, and i turned off my TCS)...... stopped at a stop sign. stepped on the gas. made a left turn. the car drifted.. little bit overstearing towards the left. counter steared. and Oops! I made a "S" shape skid mark on the ground and stopped on the grass of someone else's house... and it was HALF INCH from the metal fence! that was so @#$% scary!

but as an expression, i made a "WOW" on a college's parking lot that night. (the "W"s were easy but the "O" was so hard to make with my auto trans)

well anyways, i would always leave my TCS on just incase.....

the situation you describe is not commonly referred to as a "drift" per se, it is most commonly known as momma's boy with a hot car and no idea what to do with it it or simply stupidity

Man is that dumb! Maybe he didn't pay for his own car and if he wrecks it he won't have to pay for that either.

I agree, but also from the point of view of being the homeowner seeing ANY car in my front yard!

Man, this kid just goes to prove I need to run for office... my platforms will be stricter qualifications for driver's licenses and abolition of marriage licenses in favor of parenting licenses... marry who you want, but for god's sake, show some responsibility raising your children...

With either of these things in place, we wouldn't have people like GlacierJ out there acting the fool with a Z or any other piece of machinery... sheesh....

I don't understand the point of this post. Why would anyone want to explain to thousands of people how stupid they are?

Because the truly stupid don't keep their mouth shut and have people just think they are stupid. They like to actually open their mouths and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are indeed, stupid.

Can we deduct points for STUPIDITY?

If so, this guy gets -100,000 for being a dumbarse.



I'm not sure- try rating this post negatively. that might do the trick...?

Don't be stupid. You'll only hurt yourself or someone else and cost your parents and or other people money as well. AND you'll contribute to raising ALL of our insurance premiums.

Dumb. REAL dumb.

I'm not flaming, as I hate that crap, but this is indicative of why I'll never buy my future kids sports cars...

Aww come on guys, give him "GlacierJ" a break. Hes just trying to share hes story like everyone else. Good thing that no one got hurt, especially the Z. He had learned his lesson, and hope that we will too.
