It is usually better to fix things before they actually break, and take out other things with their flailing

My Daddy leased a new car

im buying a tesla with my magacoins

what do you think

considering my current car is literally gassing the planet

god bless VW

Which model?

@Alex Jones If that map's true then the UK is really screwed

@Maximus How so?

This will probably not go anywhere or get any attention but I just need to say it. Why is it whenever I look around articles for local racing they always focus on 3 classes out of the 5 that tracks have on a normal night. Modifieds. Sporstman. Prostocks. Always in that order without fail and in a desending nature that puts most if not all emphasis on the mods. I understood that the big names bring bigger crowds no matter the situation. If it is football, basketball,baseball or anything. But when there is a video of what happens in the pits it almost certainly only going to show those big names with the big pretty haulers and crews in fancy pit shirts working on their cars. But what really happens on that next row over? What's going on with that street stock that shows up early every week if it's raining or not in hopes they don't have a rainout. Or the four cylinder driver/owner that worked an extra 10 hours of overtime last week to fix his car to make it here this week. These are the guys who in my opinion make the sport what it is. They build their cars from the ground up. Not buy them from big chassis manufacturers. Or have a professional come in once every other week to change their setup. It feels like those classes are the unwanted bad habit at some tracks. When the big names are done for the night that big crowd goes home. Even with the stands almost empty and a car with a body that's been used and abused for the passed 3 seasons still goes out on the track. Not for that big payout. Because those don't exist for these guys. Not for the fame of being a racecar driver. Because nobody knows their name outside of their division. But because they just want to race. This is a shout out to all of the little guys that tow their cars with a dolly. Or pay the crew with a burger for helping that night. Because I believe you don't get enough applause for everything you do. You're all the reason this sport still thrives the way it does.

Some Kikebook post, but he's right

@Alex Jones people are drawn to the spectacles, occasionally an underdog gets some recognition, but usually thousands of hours of work go into the cars that become popular. for every car, or shop that becomes popular, there are 10 that lost in the same category to it.

I agree it's just fucking do they have to be... so cavalier? About it

The outliers always get the vast majority of attention. The same level of performance in a sexier body will get exponentially more attention and in some cases, wads of cash

My problems is the fucking normies, who can't tell the difference from a LS and Windsor

Those exist in every discipline. People wonder why they can't play any games properly on their PC which only has onboard graphics. They probably wonder why they can't lose weight fucking around on a treadmill and doing curls

so im setting up security questions and answers https://puu.sh/xsuza/45b984e315.png

willys jeep?

What about it?

That is a Jeep that was literally made during WW2

@!papa I get the feeling you are inexperienced with both RWD platforms, and manual transmissions

you got it @Leaf me alone

So given that, the most beneficial vehicle for you would be (relatively) low performance, cheap, and very neutral in handling

i cant really afford anything past 8000 dollars so yeah @Leaf me alone

@!papa have you looked into the Nissan 180sx?

not really tbh

not bad pricing tho

It has garnered a lot of fame among drifters, but it had a pretty humble start as a weakly powered platform which was controllable at the limit of traction

it doesnt seem bad

hopefully they got one in wisconsin or minnesota

maybe illinois

I'm not trying to offend you, but if you aren't accustomed to fulll throttle meaning you car is sideways, then you won't benefit from more hp

i cant be offended im not that smart in this area bro

That is good

kek

If you have been driving a yaris, then a RWD turbo manual car will be a significant change, even if it has ~200 hp

ive driven RWD just not a manual RWD

hmm

have you driven auto RWD in the winter, or offroad?

in that RWD i did like 110 for a good while thougj

Have you ever done a burnout, or a doughnut?

no

id fuck up my tires

Yes

But the point is that a manual transmission gives another dimensions of control, and responsibility

yeah i wouldnt wanna drift in a truck or do burnouts

If you were paying for it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDGfzYiDEpI

truck tires are expensive as fuck

each one is like 250 or 300

cheap compared to the 10k laser cut suspension parts

still kek

obviously this is well above our heads

what

about drifting trucks

???

They exist

they also set records in hill climbs

yeah

when i was doing 100 in a truck i got over anything

That is so far removed from most people, it is absurd

trucks climbing hills?

trucks climbing hills very very fast

kek of course

the pickup im talking about is a v8

I think that truck has 3000+ ft/lbs of torque

that semi kek

i have no reason for a cdl

unless im going up near stevens point to harvest potatoes

I only posted that because you said you wouldn't want to drift in a truck

Speaking for myself, I could have a lot of fun in that truck on a runway or track

oh

well when i did 100 in a pickup it was on a small backroad

pretty stupid but fun

Would doing 120 in a properly set up car, on a track be less fun?

no because you dont have to worry about cops or other cars

Well, to actually experience that, you need to get involved with your local car clubs, and participate in track days

i can get pulled over on a track??

no

you can get black flagged if you are driving like an idiot

thats gay

i wanna drive like a dumbass in peace

buy or build a track

hence rural backroads with lots of trees

I have worked with people who have gotten fucked up by disregarding rural street signs

i never disregarded them yet bro

You are in a yaris, not a 550hp subaru impreza sti

i never did this in a yaris

i did this in a truck

BRO

the car i use for work is a yaris

shit tier but gets the job done and some people say it looks decent
