In the name of fun, yeah, tires are replaceable

Only when it's safe.

i love the expansion joints on all of our bridges here in pittsburgh. they're all over and they give you tons of 'white knuckle driving moments' if you're not paying attention.

Im with dough... though its not cuz Im a pussy... its just way too hard on the car. Not just the tires, but the rear suspension especialy. though on snow and ice it sometimes cannot be avoided.

haha last night i was driving home, 12.00 ish. No cars on the roads. Drifited(or tried) on every turn it was safe to try on. Fun shit. Of course it was raining, but everyone knows RWD +rain=screwing around.

haha no kidding.

when there is no rain and open roads, this is fun too... haha, but not as fun since we dont create much power = (

i know exactly what your talking about! there is a large bump sorta like that in the middle of this S turn on the way to my school, ive had some scary moments because of that damn bump...

I prefer grip driving. You can make it through a section of turns so much faster if you have a good grip racing line. Also, like stated before it is horrible for your car.

However, in the rain I do my fair share of drifting. My favorite is going up to the canyons when it is wet. You can learn so much car and throttle control when the road has much less traction.

I don't know if this relates... I took a 25mph turn doing 60pmh. If it weren't for the grip (right on RealBmw 02), I would've flown into the guard rail...

grip driving is driving 100% of the car. i prefer to think drifting is driving 110% of the car.

**jms** · 03-28-2006, 10:58 PM

It's also bad for the gas mileage, but a man's gotta live.

Meh, not if you are good.

**BMWLotAttendant** · 03-29-2006, 09:01 PM

Wow!

This is a new thing to me.

How do you do it?

I mean, it's even hard for me to spin the tires...I can get it when its wet, but that's about it.
