Lots of "race school" or "performance school" suggestions. I would suggest stepping back a bit and instead go to Skidcar school. I did this when I was 15 or 16. I'd already been karting for a bit, but karting doesn't get you experience in the ice or snow (this only simulates it, but still closer than karting). …
Agreed. That place seems perpetually understaffed (or just staffed with lazy people...). I've been mid-checkout and had them take a 5 minute parts call before. Frustrating to say the least.
Just overthrow it?
They must still be fans of F1 though... they waited until after 2nd practice to take the site down. The streaming live timing was working just fine throughout the session.
Apparently Force India already got a taste of just how excited the fans are...
Funny, I'm pretty sure there was a V8 Holden Torana in the men's room earlier today...
For those who would like that on DVD (and much more):
Interesting... I've been bitching at the dealer (not that they could do anything really...) about the need to throw actual power behind the IPL so it is less of an expensive joke. As it stands the G coupes have some wicked oversteer (easily controlled) and run off a set of tires rather quickly (I see ~20k (at ~12k…
Tires don't look bad at all. They're basically road-legal slicks. You can still see the wear indicator holes on the lower left area of the tire in the picture above, so they've got pretty good life left. Maybe a flatspotted though. I'd almost lean NP, but it's been well documented that the car has been driven…
"What's he saying?"
Because Racebaby.
Which goes back to the time spent in the parking lot before heading out onto the road. Thinking about it again, I believe there is actually more benefit to the additional parking lot time required to become decent with a manual than just tossing a new driver out into traffic in an auto. I spent probably 3 or 4 hours…
Still have to disagree that it should not be the first car for a new driver. The question is what is the worst car for a new driver. A manual transmission car is anything but the worst option. In fact, that a manual is much more engaging for the whole driving experience helps to drive home just how much attention…
Thankfully, no. But it is quite possibly the absolute worst vehicle that is legal to drive on a public road without a CDL that you could hand to a new driver.
Same answer I gave a few days ago to another QOTD...
I would argue the exact opposite. My parents wouldn't let me into an automatic until I could drive a manual and I'm grateful for it. The fact that my family didn't own an automatic until a few years after I started driving kinda meant that would be the case anyway though.
My first thought involved one of these... I was very confused where sex and the 'Titanic' came into the picture, but I had to click quickly before my mind ventured any father into the gutter.
To LOOK at their car.
I managed to get my fiancee to buy off on names for kids already, sort of. But mine fun was based on initials rather than name. The girl would have the initials RPM, the boy WAM. Something tells me the daughter will be the better driver...
I SAID CONSUMMATE Vs!
