who's got a costco card I can use?? lol

We do need to bring our own helmets correct? Or do they want us using theirs?

I believe they have some there, although I'd bring one just in case...

I thought so, but I'd prefer to wear mine vs theirs who's been worn by... :wtf2:

I seem to have a helmet predicament since I usually borrow Ron's. I could buy one, but it might be hard to hide it from the parents for a while....Anyone have an extra I could borrow?

..hide it?

Also, Summit handles tons of groups of people for Karting - I have no doubt they do proper cleaning and disinfecting of their helmets.

My parents don't know about all my driving shenanigans and I'd like to keep it like that if I can. Though at this point, I don't know if they even care anymore....

They don't know you've hit the track?

Or that you singlehandedly created a new automotive color, Brake Dust Brown?

Nope. They do know about the Lamborghini thing though. I might just tell them I'm going to the track this month. I don't want them to worry too much, like they always do. Took me 6 months to convince them to even let me buy a sports car :icon17:

You are over 18 aren't you... It was with your money wasn't it? You're paying for your health/car insurance right?


Where does their opinion matter? (no offense, just a point blank statement)

It's gray not brown fgt :p

I'm still going to the track no matter what, just a matter of whether I tell them what I'm actually doing or not. I'm pretty sure they won't care at this point, but what they don't know won't hurt them.

Also, I'm in the process of convincing them to help pay for the house so I don't want to upset them too much :p

Thats like saying you tell a girl after sex you weren't wearing a condom and hoping she doesn't get pregnant... :bowrofl:

Pakistani problems, you wouldn't understand bro :p

It's cause I'm white isn't it?! :mad:

You can bring your own helmet. If it doesn't meet their requirements they have helmets too that you can use.

I do :tup:

Its SA2010 compliant, I'm sure it'll pass. :icon17:

You are obviously white.

why you gotta be all racial bro...:stirthepot::icon17:

And?

:icon08:

See Steve knows what I'm talking about . Asian parents.....

means you don't understand non-Western culture. :p

Still makes no sense, racial differences or not. If their name isn't on the bill, what value does their opinion weigh? None. That's just like ours when we do a mod most others don't agree with.

I've been immersed in Non-Western Culture. Been there, done that. Got the shrapnel for it. :tiphat:


This has nothing to do with culture, this has to do with self-reliance and will power.

It's a cultural thing, dude. It's different. Unless you want to completely abandon family and live on your own, they have a say.

:iagree:

Even if you abandon family and live on your own they will still have a say. :|

Just like with everything else, this is 'merica. You can have both. :tup: Family is there for support when needed, but you're your own person. So you make the decisions.

word nugget, chicken bucket. :facepalm:

It has nothing to do with self-reliance and will power.

Family is huge in most all Asian cultures. Everyone works together to support the familial unit. This means, on most things, the family has a say in the actions of the individual.

So, this has nothing to do with will power or self reliance and everything to do with cultural norms. :)

Just becuase this is 'merica doesn't mean you abandon your culture completely.

Gonna have to let this one go. It doesn't make sense why you let others run your lives to me, but I do not want to come off as insulting you/your family/your culture. So I will stop here.


<3 you guys.

Unless you actually have lived in that culture it probably won't make much sense to you, but that's OK. Back to Karting. :p

I am not racist but I call almost all my co-workers the N word ;)

Please keep to the thread topic. Thank you.

Wednesday bump.

I'm really blown but I'll have to back out of this trip :( apparently a bachelor party that I HAVE TO GO to is planned this weekend..

UGH

Khoi, you suck!!!

Seriously, we'll miss you. Next time you better go!
