It's like the tweens in Civics and stuff that get killed in high school because they think their car can easily take a 35 mph corner at 75... plow straight off into a tree and die. I see it happen too often

Here, it's dumb kids trying to "drift, yo." Oops... off into the curb/forest/wall they go. Oh, look, I just got a vehicle risk adjustment on my insurance bill! we have had a few fatal accidents here when kids try to drift on public roads and hit poles/trees.

Just add more front wing and dial in some negative camber.

Nice G Mr.kenchan. Any luck with your Weds?

I blew my rep wad tonight, I might have one more in me... Who needs one?
yah, i was running my calculations again tonight cause something just didnt addup and found that even at 40mm it's going to be too aggressive for my stock ride so i decided to abandon this project. i sent email to alex 'sorry for my idiot mistake.' so im back to no nismo wheels, no pss.

i should look at sourcing some nurbs.

Something to think about... How many of us grew up driving rear wheel drive vs. front wheel drive? I got my license driving a RWD car

Please excuse the off-topic nature of this post, but I felt like sharing something with you all.

Colin, my first son and onzedge wannabe, got his then girlfriend and now fiancé in a family way back in December. They told us in January the big news that they are expecting -- with a due date of September 8. After congratulations and hugs went around the room, I asked him "how did this happen?". I caught myself just as the last words exited my dense skull. Anyway, I digress.

Today they discovered the gender and I am going to have a granddaughter. Hmm. With my other son Taylor (techfracture), also a gearhead and Z car fanatic, Colin, and me as role models, the possibilities of what she will become as a person make my head swim. Anyway, her name shall be Faye Allen Clark. Everyone nixed "Katayama", which was one of my suggestions.

Well. There you go.
