what do you think

2017-09-03 01:27:09 UTC  

considering my current car is literally gassing the planet

2017-09-03 01:27:14 UTC  

god bless VW

2017-09-03 01:48:12 UTC  

Which model?

2017-09-03 10:08:36 UTC  

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

2017-09-03 10:32:15 UTC  

@Maximus How so?

2017-09-04 01:35:03 UTC  

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

2017-09-04 01:42:53 UTC  

@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.

2017-09-04 01:44:17 UTC  

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

2017-09-04 01:48:15 UTC  

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

2017-09-04 01:57:52 UTC  

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

2017-09-04 04:50:48 UTC  

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

2017-09-05 22:53:46 UTC  

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

2017-09-06 01:04:20 UTC  

willys jeep?

2017-09-06 01:40:49 UTC  

What about it?

2017-09-06 01:41:57 UTC  

That is a Jeep that was literally made during WW2

2017-09-10 00:54:41 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 00:55:05 UTC  

you got it @Leaf me alone

2017-09-10 00:56:39 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 00:57:19 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 01:00:37 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 01:01:20 UTC  

not really tbh

2017-09-10 01:02:35 UTC  

not bad pricing tho

2017-09-10 01:03:11 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 01:04:26 UTC  

it doesnt seem bad

2017-09-10 01:04:41 UTC  

hopefully they got one in wisconsin or minnesota

2017-09-10 01:04:47 UTC  

maybe illinois

2017-09-10 01:05:34 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 01:06:12 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 01:06:29 UTC  

That is good

2017-09-10 01:07:26 UTC  

kek

2017-09-10 01:08:02 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 01:09:12 UTC  

ive driven RWD just not a manual RWD

2017-09-10 01:09:39 UTC  

hmm

2017-09-10 01:10:02 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 01:11:08 UTC  

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

2017-09-10 01:12:23 UTC  

Have you ever done a burnout, or a doughnut?

2017-09-10 01:12:57 UTC  

no

2017-09-10 01:13:02 UTC  

id fuck up my tires

2017-09-10 01:13:09 UTC  

Yes
