I'm not in high school and havnt been for a few years, and the Evo owners I'm talkin about are between 30-45 yrs old that I see. I know these EVO owners from DSM/Evo meets I've been to.

what gets me is the kids that have the money are usually FUCKING STUPID.. one would think, that their parents must be smart to be able to get jobs that make enough money to hand their kid's $30,000 cars, but it seems, they are either stupid, or for some reason this generation is getting all the stupid genes that skipped their parents?

there were a lot of kids at my high school with brand new LS1s and such bought by parents... and all of them were fucking retards

Maybe it has something to do with mommy and daddy spoon feeding them everything. Why think or study when you have a trust fund waiting for you...

Yeah we are approaching that hill and we see HIDs coming down the hill at about 45mph (BEFORE THE TURN) at this poing we are about to enter the turn.. if he broke traction he would have flown into my car and we would have both been in the woods.

So yeah, it's 30 degrees and you take a 90 degree right hand turn in the dark with traffic on a 1 lane road at 45mph.

WTF is all I have to say, if your tires broke out so much as a micron on that turn you would have understeered right into my shit and flown off the road.
Same happened to me, except it was an STi

*raises hand*

45 mph around that corner is easily doable.

I know that turn is doable at 45, but its not something that I would do when its dark and cold. Too many variables to fuck up with.

take too many variables.
subtract two.
equals?

driving on streets fast = dangerous, i dont see the difference between cold and hot as long as you know the limits in said condition. and, either way, the evo pulled it off without a hitch. i dont fucking understand the problem.

and at night, most of the time you can tell a car is in the oncoming lane earlier than during the day because headlights project, yes, light. i dont see the problem with dark on said night.
