Hey Kannibul, after just browsing, it looks like RCZ is really nice to you. :rolleyes: Hey, I'm having fun reading your posts. The rain thing? Isn't that the truth. Keep havin' fun buddy. We all are allowed to share stories with others who have had the same things happen. General means general to me.

If you don't like wasting time, don't post (repeatedly) about a timewasting thread. The internet is a timewaster, in case you haven't noticed, and internet skillls *always* involve separating the wheat from the chaff. Personally, what's hard for me to read is someone drilling something when they have no idea where they're coming from.

And sorry to say it, but you're projecting way too much onto this guy. He didn't say he was some jackass street-racer, nor was he crowing about his crazzzy exploits. He just had a moment where he jumped on the throttle on soapy tires and the car got out of hand - and he shared about it on a board where people share about car stuff. If reading about it isn't your cup of tea, fine - skip to the next thread. I'll bet that any person on here doesn't care about at least 50% of the threads on here (including threads on how to set up their car for the track). That's because people are different.

From the outside, you're the one who comes across as a showoff, trying to act like you have never made a mistake on the street, or talking down to them about attending driving classes (which, again, is a way for you to emphasize your mad skillz).

And I hate to tell you, but it actually isn't your responsibility to sanitize the boards for everyone else. Some people aren't on here for the same reasons you are. I have taken driving classes, and I do try to keep it safe on the street, but I could totally see being stoked on my clean wheels, juicing the throttle, and getting a bit sideways. I'd like to assume that wouldn't be 45 degrees sideways, but then I'm not going to judge a street or a situation that I don't have a clue about.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll get flamed back. I just think you seem to view yourself as some kind of cop trying to check other people, and I think you might want to check yourself on this one and apologize.

You could not have said it any better.
My thoughts exactly.

People continue to post all your 370 stories.
There will always be someone that finds your story intriguing and want to read it. To each his own. :)

I purposely posted on all 3 of his threads because each was more pointless than the last. I was trying to make a point that this person is just adding pointless clutter to the forum.

I took a risk by acting out because there are always people who feel like they have to protect these people when someone calls them out. That's fine, I can live with that. I wont speak about all the PM's I got saying "I agree with you, I cant stand this crap either" because I frankly don't care enough to get into it again.

Im not showing off, Im not saying anything about me. I have of course made mistakes and if I recall something similar to this back when I first started driving. The only difference is that I didnt feel it was interesting enough to post about. I'm trying to keep this site worthwhile, as it was before all these (to quote modshack) "idiots" started showing up and cluttering the forum with crap.

Fine though, have it your way. If you think this is interesting and belongs here and no one says anything then youre going to have an awesome awesome forum in a couple months. Quantity over quality right?

I guess I'll be in the tech area from now on.

I think your stories are fine for the people who want to read them, but I do believe they don't need to be new threads. As our community grows and grows, it's becoming harder to sift through all the threads. Just two months ago, only 2 pages of updates would take place in a day, now we are more than double that.
If I could make a polite suggestion, there is a preexisting thread where everyone has taken great liberty in posting this kind of stuff. I think some of these things may be best placed here:

But instead of it going into the useless thread, because that thread seems to be 90% non-Z related, could we make a more appropriate thread where inexperienced sports car drivers can go to learn from eachother's experiences and mistakes. This way mistakes (getting loose with soapy tires, overcorrecting steering, doing burnouts in the box unnecessarily with street tires) can be voiced and people who find it useful (new Z owner that has driven a truck his whole life) will take note that, 'hey, don't get on it for a few miles after the wash.'

Maybe title it: "370Z lessons learned" or something like that?

Slag

edit: went ahead and started a lessons learned thread and found some old bits of advice to start it off. This should help everyone I think. :tiphat: + + +

When is RCZ not out of line? He flames in everyones posts. He thinks he is right over everyone else. Most of his threads are like this. LOL

Mods, please lock this thread. It lost it's charm a long time ago.

:iagree: unfortunately....

Between the outta control posters running off vendors, The formula 1 racers wrecking demos, Kids whos daddys just bought them their first car, and the Wannabees that are 4 years away from ownership, this is starting to lose its allure for me too..

See ya over in Tech..

Don't hate the Wanabees - some countries don't even have the car yet :icon14:

...as for the subject of this thread, I think it's quite in order for a new owner to warn other new owners that a powerful RWD car can be tail happy. We all learn by going beyond our limits and that's exactly what the OP did - at 8mph - I'll get my coat.

Again, do you have a purpose here, other than chasing down RCZ's posts and trying to make a stink about it? Most of his threads are pretty damn informative. What are you bringing to the table?

Wstar, maybe you need to actually review his posts like others. Others here in this thread already see how he acts. No need to ignore the facts. Last I checked the forum was open to read posts anywhere we all please anyways.

wstar, your personal attacks are out of line. May I suggest you back off a bit before a admin steps in. And before you make this site like the other Z site...
