or perhaps its the opposite. perhaps some guys become too attached to their cars after having bad experiences with girls. I know since i've been there.

Also, what's the deal. So the guy spun out on a track, heck some guys here spun out the z on the STREET! so he is a bit pissed at damaging his new car, who wouldn't be? who doesn't get pissed off if they drop a new blackberry or digital camera, or if a shopping cart dented their brand new car, even if its a camry or something.

So how exactly would you have reacted to that? I mean come on KillerBee.

you know what, that is a very good point. thats one of the reasons i want to sell my evo, i will never truly take advantage of its performance.

much respect to the guy in the vid for taking a car that can perform to a track unlike 98% of other owners of cars in that league that barely drive it at all.

Are there any tracks in Hawaii? I've heard there is one on the big island. One would assume that there is one on Oahu since that place is pretty much urban sprawl like LA.

He's alive, he walked away, that is what counts the most!

That's right! It's just a car.

This is how I feel, but apparently most of the people in this post disagree.

No offense taken! His still an Idiot!

The bottom line is that you have to be prepared for something like that at the track . . . but . . . it STILL sucks.

I would have been screaming the same thing even if i was fully prepared for a total loss. Its just natural to be mad when you munch something you enjoy..

Exactly, and you could tell the inevitable was going to happen once he hit the grass to hot.

Is there a way to multi quote?

You guys are acting like he broke down, or something. He was pissed, just like you would have been, had you scratched your Z. He didn't jump off a building.

As someone who has hydroplaned off the highway before, that "please don't hit the wall!" chant while you're sliding backwards sounded quite familiar.
