What happened?

Daishi9000 · 10-16-2013, 10:21 AM

nothing happened to the car,
it was the anxiety of what could have happened!!

I've got a few friends I would let drive the Z if I were a passenger. They can both replace the car if they break it, and they drive a manual every day. I've never ridden in the passenger seat, so I'm kinda curious since cars always feel faster as a passenger.

It's that "lack of control" feeling.

specially when they shift at higher rpms than you would under causal driving...
"oh god why isn't he upshifting!"

If I let one of my buddies drive the car with me riding shotgun, he'll be specifically instructed to take it to redline at WOT for more than one gear. The car feels "normal" now, so the whole point in going for a ride is to remind me that it's really fast.

I only let one person drive my Z. It was a service manager at a dealership. He had to drive it in their shop when I needed the tpms sensors initialized when I got my new wheels. He couldn't even do that right. Instead of driving on the ramp lift, he tried to drive up on the four point lift. I stopped him before he bottomed out the sides on the lift arms.

If sitting counts as driving, sure. LOL!

So far just one person because I know he won't do anything to it.
