My first problems

Hehe, i was just
And I agree with you 110%
A driver should definitly know him/herself and the car....too many don't well on the road that is, not knockin on anyone here.

Exactly, but you know I think you'd be suprised how many here probably don't know their cars as well as they think they do. Just be careful and push when you know the situation's safe, so you can learn your car. You'll never know if you never push it!

IDK about "here".... but in general, that's absolutely true.

I'm a HUGE believer in DE events.
People spend all kinds of $$$ on wheels, tires, etc. etc. etc. to improve the performance of their ride; yet...
it's a small few that make the one modification that will truly improve the performance of their car. :also stepping off soap box:

I'm not referring to anyone in particular. Statistically speaking however, of the hundreds of members, there are bound to be a few - that's all I was saying

For sure.. & just think about all the fun they're missing.

Teehee!!! You got that right!!

I'll be honest when I say I don't know the car yet I've noticed that while I have more fun in the Z4, I push my truck alot harder around turns an such because I know what and how the truck will react. I can hardly find a nice place to push the car here where I'm not worried about other people, maybe on the back roads of lake mead. But then I'm worried that if I plow myself into a canyon wall that A) people will think for some reason I did it on purpose or B) No one will find me till it's too late.
*edit* I'd love to get in some advanced driving courses here, but $$$ is the limiting factor there.

staying on the topic that seems to have come about...safety!!! So is it okay to exceed the legal speed limit if doing so under SAFE conditions? I had a city cop tell me it was okay to do so.

Aebous, for some cheap track time, try SCCA or any other local car clubs that have track events. They are usually $25-$35 for a day of fun and a safe driving experience, even if not on a full track, you can still learn a lot about the handling of your car in a large parking lot. If you have a roadster, make sure that they will allow it due to safety concerns of a rollover.

Cheers!
