This baffles me. People who modify their cars, yet never learn how to improve their driving skills or awareness.

If anyone in the bay area knows the northboud 85 to 237 connection, they know it can get backed up. So this morning, I see a white teggy that may or may not be a real Type R. But it had the red badge and Type R spoiler, seriously slammed to the ground riding on black rims. Ok, no big deal.

But he was going painfully slow over the triple esses of the connecting ramp, such that he was backing up the people behind him, including the big SUV right behind him. He was going so slow, that even the SUV had to slow down more than necessary to take the curves.

Ok, so maybe he's just driving too slow today... but no, as he merges to 237 he punches it passing everyone else. So let me guess, he only knows how to drag?

And on a side note, the other day I see a fairly new Bimmer M3 yanking himself through traffic, making abrupt steering and accelerating into turns. It seemed like because he thought he was in an M3 he could "drive reckless" and the car would give it to him; fully unaware of his spikey telemetry.

Whatever. I just don't get why.

 

You assumed Hype r drivers could actually drive?

:slap:

 

if baffles me why anyone never learns to improve their driving skills.. i was riding around all last week with two different girls and i was scared.

 

maybe he is just a kid and mommy and daddy just bought it for his 16th birthday. i had a friend that got a type r for his birthday and he totalled it! i told him he was an idiot and should learn how to drive maybe thats this persons problem wreck there car then learn how to drive

 

it doesn't matter what kind of car a person drives. it's not like everybody out there with a g35, z, s2k, sti, evo, can drive their car perfectly.

 

Ain't that the truth.

Not even looking for perfection either (I haven't achieved it), just looking for proficiency and an understanding of the concept of where car limits are.

 

Yup seen old guys driving stock S2’s whipping the crap out of everyone with heavily modified cars at some track days.

 

So he doesnt haul ass around a corner, thus making him a bad driver? Furthermore, itr owners are expected to go WOT everytime they drive?

 

i believe there should be a separate license endorsement allowing people to drive cars of a sporty or performance nature that you arent allowed to get until you pass a driving skills test or pass a handling class

i'd say limit this to cars that have corrected times of 15 seconds or less in the 1/4 mile or can pull .85 g's
on a skidpad

as for that guy, he just sounds like he was being a dick. in my hometown i used to drive 5 mph under the speed limt, and then zoom around this S curve near my house and park it in this alcove to see how many epoel i could trap behind me. i was such a little jackass

 

And you wondered why your car got boosted....Heh
