There was this BMW driving super slow in front of me. As I pulled up to it, it sped off. I figured what the hell, and downshifted and passed it. This turn was ahead, and I always go around it fast when Im messing with my suspention,,,,figured i could handle it. I realized I was going a bit fast, so I tapped the break :gilloutine: Wont do that again. back end swung around, but I corrected it, and drove the few blocks to my garage like a grandma. I made a mistake by being a cocky ass driver, but I dusted the BMW, and learned a lesson. SAVE THIS TYPE OF DRIVING FOR THE AX TRACK :toilet:

In my previous job, my drive to work was a 20 mile romp through country roads, vinyards, horse farms, etc. There was this one tight little s-curve, and with the stock engine, stock tires, and no sway bars, I had broken the rear end loose on the ghia on many occasions. That engine sitting out there behind the rear axle's like a club.

Then I built her up with the 912 engine, 2.0l Fuchs, and sway bars. I still hadn't torqued down that loose nut behind the wheel though. . . ended up in the weeds, backwards.

Now that I have the stock engine back in there, but still have the Fuchs and the sway bars, I can't break her loose on that s-turn no matter how hard I try. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Of course the drive to my new job is 40 miles of the 101 freeway.
