Yeah your right we should all get racing tires and drive on the street with them. That'll improve our wet driving abilities and we'll have incredible grip on the dry pavement.

My point is that we all make mistakes driving every single day. Fortunately, not all manifest themselves in such a manner as to injure us or take mo' money out of our pockets. And some products mask our inadequacies.
Excel- If you had read my entire post, you would have stumbled upon my last remark. I do not see anywhere in it that I encourage honing driving skills by pushing any limit on any public road. I will also go on record as saying that I have a long ways to go before I'd call myself a good driver in a competitive sense.

I'm sure you're a great guy, and I'm doubly sure that we will meet at some time in the future. We just have to agree to disagree on the S-02's place in the automotive world.





As for bowling, you have just enough knowledge/terminology of yesteryear to fool some and to prove to others that you don't know. Bowling is the one thing I do know. It's my profession.

I'm not a great bowler but I have a norm duke siigned ball. The hammer that bears his name and i have an old rubber ball that was my fathers probably from the 50's. I really cant get that ball (the rubber one) to hook unless I really slow down my delivery and then I feel like it's all wrong. I'm a finger tip bowler. I used the rubber one to pick up my spares in the corners, I'm damn accurate with it but my first ball (the hammer) well I'm not consitant I still get too many splits and the occatsional birhtday cake. For me to say i know bowling with a 140-150 average would be crazy. I do however love the game.
Looking forward to meeting you one day as well. Hell lets go bowling I could always use the avise of a pro I think you just became my best friend.

Who said you could drive at 45 or -20 on so2s, not I. Just said they get harder and you start loosing traction.

Huh? Are you serious. What's a good ball for someone that arcs the ball more than hooks. I need to a new ball if only because I'm tired of the Hammer. God I need to find a league.

I don't want to get into a pissing contest about your accident. You downshifted into 2nd in a turn going down a ramp. This is what you stated before. If you were doing 33 and in 4th such that you needed to downshift to 3rd, you were grossly in the wrong gear to begin with.
in my original post and in the police report i said i downshifted into 3rd at the bottom of the on ramp while straightening out. not goin into the turn into 2nd. i dont believe i was in the wrong gear. my engine was cold so i didnt want to shift down into the a lower gear bc the rpms would go too high. remember its an 04. the car is fine in 3rd gear going 33mph.

your right, no pissing contest. im might pee blood
ive taken responsiblilty for the crash... after my ego was buised. i just gave it too much gas and it came out. my fault.
