This. I was taught the 2 second rule in driver’s ed: leave 2 seconds of space to the car in front of you, so you have enough time to react. I recently took an advanced driving course however, where they mentioned the 3 second rule: 2 seconds to react to what’s happening in front of you, plus one second of margin to…

With FWD you can apply a bit of power to stabilise your car (pull yourself out of the slip as it were), but it’s easy to overdo this and overwhelm the front tires, as…
Imagine what you could do with it though: turbo kit, fender flares, ducktail spoiler, scissor doors. Never has beige had this much potential.
Underground 2 takes the cake for me, but that might have something to do with the lack of cops. I know they’re generally seen as a staple of NFS, but I preferred racing and cruising around without running the risk of getting caught up in an arbitrary chase. The soundtrack and ridiculous modifications (you should…
I want it in one of these (including manual/sequential swap):

As for most things, there’s an XKCD:
Anyway, how’s your car life?
This sounds like it could be the car show equivalent of The Room. And I’m not even sure that’s a bad thing.
They use salt there, but not as much as in the UK and the US, as temperatures can get too low for salt to have much of an effect, and gravel and plowing is cheaper. Old(ish) Saabs rust.
