Lemmings (NWS for language)

[WH]

If you think you arent the best driver out there, and have been on a track thats pretty sad because what you are talking about as far as driving is just going to the grocery store, i guess you yack on the cell phone and have no situational awareness :roll:

Interesting..... since this is exactly the attitude that gets people into accidents. Feeling superior to others on the road or track is very dangerous. Yes, I am a confident driver. Yes, I can drive very well. Yes, I know about vehicle dynamics, maintenance and upgrades (and can maintain my own cars), but I don't take risks on the street or the track. That's a formula for disaster! Whether I'm driving my Ferrari, AC cobra, Mini Cooper S, Austin Healey, MG or my lowly BMW's (Alpina or others) I know the limits of the car I'm in and know how far I can take it safely. I rarely even on the track push the limits much over 90% of the cars ability and there are some cars I've never explored the limits that far. Most of my cars are somewhat expensive and I treat them well. I drive them fast, yes, but treat them with respect. To do otherwise is foolish. Know the limits of your car, your skills and the conditions you are driving in. If not, you'll be sorry!

No worries Matt. I am certain that your skills in the seat will render irrelevant your general adolescent arrogance, inexperience and potential psychiatric disorder. A phone call from NASA is only a matter of time.

Actually I "look" for women driving around with a "leg up" or out the window, they are HOT and know how to cool that puppie off!

[Kenny Blankenship]

I want average drivers to walk up to me and talk about slip angles, understeer/oversteer, etc....THEN they can say they are good drivers, you need to understand all that at the minimum to be a GOOD driver.

You can TALK about it all you want. I understand those things quite well, I even understand being tangential to the apex, among other high performance principles. However, I'd bet big money that Krieger would still outdrive me any day of the week.

Talk all you want, you're still just a punk kid, no matter what your inflated ego tells you.

Jeremy

Hey Matt, if you can beat me around the track at Infineon, then I might concede that you're better than 90% of the drivers. And I'm sure C.R. could kick my butt around a track (I'd like to find out... ).

But I'm not so sure about Jeremy...he likes cones

[turbodan]

I am older im 23, but maturity has nothing to do with age, so i dont hang around anyone unless they are around 40+ usually.
Most people just couldnt care overall, if they get into an accident, they get their appliance replaced, you cant replace an E28.

23 years old huh? How do you figure? Metric system?

The banana system actually

[turbodan]

Picture time? Yaaaaaay


You still plucking your eyebrows?

[tacm]

I accelerated like i was going to hit her and veered to the left to scare her

Should be cause for a permanent revocation. Shame on you

[ismellfish2]

Picture time? Yaaaaaay

10 points for remembering that picture. Hey Matt, how come your social skills went right back in the shitter all of a sudden?

[Adam W in MN]

Hey, Super Eurobeat is back!

So f'ing true.

Hey Matt, how come your social skills went right back in the shitter all of a sudden?

Maybe he had another fun oil change adventure with his Dad and that set him off before this lady pulled in front of him.

[bar5037]

Can't we all just agree that there are people out there who drive with their head directly up their ass with no regard for the health and safety of other people. That in mind, we as e28 owners should make sure that we are always well in control of our cars and on the look out for people who are IDIOTS. It's I've learned never assume, or you'll make an ass out of you and me!

[Bimmerguy2002]

Picture time? Yaaaaaay


You still plucking your eyebrows?

Actually yes, i have to keep up my metrosexual appearances to get all the cute guys like yourself Dannyboy, its hard when there is so much competition these days, i got my first queer eye for the straight guy makeover and to tell you the truth...im impressed!

Shoot me some pics of yourself and maybe ill think about tagging that sweet little ass, i see you already swallowed your first load and practicing on the "real thing", cute. Ill make a man out of you Dan.

[turbodan]

I dont think anyone disagrees with that statement. The rest of the problem is drivers that think they're great but in fact are actually complete A-holes.

[1st 5er]

Ive purposely brake checked people when they tailgate

IIRC, slowing down and allowing the tailgater to pass is the way to safely handle this situation, 100% of the time.

Thats all fine and dandy, but lets talk about the REAL world, people will still tailgate you, today i slammed on the brakes and saw some serious nose dive, they wouldnt have risked an accident if they werent being an idiot and following so close, you gotta teach people a lesson sometime. No reason to tailgate someone in the slow lane going the speed limit when there are other open lanes, try to defend that all you want, the person tailgating is as fault especially when one is obeying the law.

[1st 5er]

you gotta teach people a lesson

Expert driver and qualified driving instructor?

the person tailgating is as fault

Two wrongs do not make one right. ('one' refers to either the numeric equivalent or yourself - take your pick)

I am right, no doubt about it, im not a regular driver, far from it. I couldn't care less if someone wrecks their car from tailgating me and swerving, shouldnt have been doing stupid shit to begin with.
You play with fire you are gonna get burned.
Quit being on the "victims" nuts, if you tailgate me you are damn right im gonna brake hard, its your choice if you wanna get sent off the side of the road or pace yourself at a safe distance. Once you do illegal shit you forfeit your life and your rights. Same goes for an intruder, damn right im gonna kill someone who breaks into my house.

I cant believe you went to the extent of saving pictures of me onto your hard drive and hosting them on your photobucket account. Oh, man, you really got me there, because I put those up on myspace, a public website, under the impression that no one would see them.

So how do you justify your actions by this logic?

I accelerated like i was going to hit her and veered to the left to scare her and she gets mad at me. If i was in a regular POS car i would have tboned her on purpose just to get $.

Maybe she should have braked hard so rear ended her, just for the $$$. Does your insurance policy cover you choosing to drive like a cunt?

Still living with mommy and daddy?

i cant go to an autocross, i dont have a battery tie down plus i wouldnt post about it here since its not important to anyones life

Yet you thought anyone would give a fuck about some lady pulling out in front of you and "setting you off"? Guess again.

[shagrath]

i base it on regular drivers, most people here arent regular drivers but for some reason they are upset

teenagers
teenage girls specifically
girls specifically
people who read while driving
women who put their foot on the dashboard and out the window
women who speed with children in car
old drivers
people who underspeed
people who OVERspeed (like the guy that does 55 down my street in a bronco in residential )
people with no situational awareness
women who apply makeup while driving
talking on the cell phone while driving




i do none of that so.....

You're not from Memphis are you? Cause Memphian Indian women are the worlds worst drivers out there!

Also, it is quite arrogant to say you are even "all that" in performance driving. I can race a supercharged 400+ hp 350Z on a track, but I know for a fact I am not all that great at perfomance driving (in the grand scheme of things). I am a good defensive driver on the road, but there is always someone better. In fact, I know a lot of women who are better driviers than i am.

Being a good defensive driver is knowing you aren't the best driver around.

Pretty arrogant of you to say all that though, and this is coming from someone with a pretty beat up traffic record and needs an SR-22 for insurance.

[shagrath]

[2ndeagle]

While you may be a good driver, your immaturity in driving on public roads speaks volumns. Part of being a "successful" driver has to do with being a defensive driver. You must always look out for the person who may not be as skilled or attentive.

Your "brake tapping" is very immature and idiotic, proves you're not as good as you think. While you are trying to teach a lesson, you may very well at some point be taught a lesson. What happens when you "brake tap" at a high speed and the person behind you has bad brakes, is not fully attentive or has poor reflexes. While you may be in the right, you can also end up dead or paralyzed.

[johnnye23]

Ever had a brake bomb fail ?

[Tammer in Philly]

While you may be in the right, you can also end up dead or paralyzed. :shock:

Deservedly so.

wahhhhhhh such a loss, i dont even have a wife or kids, im expendable.

I am a defensive driver, regular drivers arent, my complaint is the amount you have to put into it because of regular drivers.
If i get a ticket for talking on the cell phone, thats unfair because everyone else still does it.

[JBort]

Matt, haven't you got a wrecking yard to visit?

[Bimmerguy2002]

Matt, haven't you got a wrecking yard to visit?

Yeah right, weekdays are too much traffic, and mixed with regular lemmings on the phone doing its a lose lose situation trying to get into the bay area.

[2ndeagle]

I find this statement to be sad.............

[ldsbeaker]

Really? I think your own response fits in here.

wahhhhhhh

Quit whining, and get better insurance. You're going to need it.
Edit: Your victim (who, by the way, could very well be one of us) will need it, too.
