i totally agree with ^^^...

every vehicle i've ever owned, and i've owned lots of vehicles... i took out, somewhere safe (of course) and took it to all the edges just to know how it and i reacted and handle it...

Yeah, I've been getting some nice lessons in that as well the last month or so. Thank goodness for that limited slip rear differential!

i am a douchebag


but in all seriousness the guy just lost his car. lessons about sliding down the street sideways is probably not what he needs right now.

have to treat ur car with respect before thinking about learning to manhandle her like a 2 dollar prostitute

You can say what you want but I wasn't speeding so don't make assumptions. Accidents can happen to anyone at anytime.

im not saying that u did anything wrong. freak accidents happen esp in the rain (which is what i referred to in the autocross comment).

im just saying what he's advocating is not likely conducive for a long ownership for a car. (for example drifting down the road in a new-to-you car)

didnt mean to offend anyone.
