Default Thanks for the drive...

Thank you Boofster for driving my car and letting me drive yours. Now I know without any doubt that everything is completely normal.

I'm kicking myself for not doing this much sooner. In fact after 1-2 trips to the dealer I should have requested to drive someone elses. Even though when I test drive another at the dealership, i should have still taken someone elses with mileage like yours etc.

So to everyone who was listening to my bitching, it turns out i was complaining about something (or nothing depending on how you look at it ) that is not only "normal" but not necessarily detectable by other drivers given Boof did not feel the differenece in resistance in his own car as I did in his.

I felt the resistance difference in your's more than mine, but I suspect some of that is not only the age of the tires, but also some of the perception from your steering wheel being off center.

Nice meeting CBR and Sputniks too.

Very nice cars. I like those S badges on the rims

Good luck in New York!!!

Now that My car is aligned with new tires I can close this case with american honda.

Thanks again for helping may lay these 's to rest!!!

Cheers!!!

Yes I definitely will. I think most of my worries were not knowing if it was normal, rather than the difference itself.

Now I can start worrying about my top ripping like CBR's or Sputnik's

I may try to make it out there. Since I almost never plan that far ahead won't know for another week or so. I definitely want to see those drifters again.

YOU HAVE TO GO FOR A RIDE-A-LONG! I am hooked since i went on one. I can't believe they let people legally do that... I don't have the $$$ yet so I will try to make the next one if uncle sam pays up in time.

F**k uncle Sam I'm probably going to owe that clown again

Yea that's what I really should do is go for a ride along. How much do helmets cost, I'll need to get one.

Yeah rides with Boofster are fun!

Actually Matt I found where they keep the loaner helmets. They have about 6 and most of them are brand new. Next track day is on the 26th.
