Slow it down son, we dont want to send your family flowers and condolences. |

A little initial understeer is good. Apply pressure to that longer pedal on the right to get to neutral. Stop street racing and go to the track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Ask me if my car has rust!!! Group: Members Posts: 619 Joined: 25-February 06 From: Pittsburgh PA Member No.: 5,634 |
Country roads don't have other stupid drivers but they do have large brown hairy fender denters with horns. I've heard them called dear, but I think they are the devil.
