live your life a quarter mile at a time lol. Get some stickier tires and have fun with it. Who cares if you look like you cant drive better to look like you cant drive and have fun then to drive like grandma and never feel the rush.

I drive like an *** hole all the time lol. Took my buddy out cruising the other day on the local cruise road went under this big *** over pass got on it, at at like 80 about to rear end a guy and cut the guy in the lane next to me off so i wouldnt rear end someone. Needless to say my buddy was scared and hes got a 11 second fox and the driver that i cut off gave me a finger for about 3 miles

I'm going to say, driving like a Grandma is part of the problem.
My current rear tires are very slippery. I fishtail, powerslide and 2 crayon marks down all the time. My last tires were sticky, didn't last long and my next tires will be sticky. In the meantime, I'm enjoying driving like Vaughn Gittin, Jr.
As law breaking as this is. Not likely that a minor surprise slip of the rear tires is going to cause me to completely lose control of my car.

well I wouldn't say we drive like grandma's but we both had reminders how well our cars can scare us.. I had a bit more of a "head-on" experience...
I got greedy after ripping through some gears and punched it while going sideways. car went the other way and luckily didn't hit anyone. plenty of witnesses... i got the last laugh (checks in the bank) and my car still runs and drives hehe
