Troof again....my bike handles great but it's handling could be better....like how its stock suspension is.

Watching top gear... I think we should try and get Rutledge to come to a meet or something..

Not that this has to do with him but I'll be at the August 12th meet for sure

It'll be nice to be back in town for a bit.

I plan on having the Subaru on the road this week and depending on who all is going (that is the biggest factor), I'll go on a run.

He raised his car up the night before the run.

So apparently PTC cops can pull you over "just so they can check if everything is alright". Going home from Tommy's at maybe almost 3 AM from a late dinner and movie night, a cop turns on his light while at the median so I stop since I'm the only car at the road. I was doing 38 on cruise control on a 40 with nothing wrong with my car (All lights working, whatever else) and using my blinkers and driving respectively. Cop goes, "How's it going? Is everything alright here? May I ask what are you doing still out at 3 AM at night?". Cop had no reason to pull me over but he did. Oh and this happened at about 1/8 mile away from my house. He can't bust me for anything since he never had a reason to stop me anyway.

After that movie last night, a cop pulling me over would've freaked me the fuck out.

Eff that!

i try telling people this and they ignore me saying that the lower it is the lower the center of mass and the better it handles. After that I usually just walk away shaking my head....

We seriously need a "LIKE" button around here...

**Bacon** · 07-25-2011, 09:35 AM

Cops can pull you over whenever they want for whatever they want without an excuse.

I gladly admit my car is far lower than it should be for any performance benefits, anyone who tries to argue that case is in denial.

Troof. They will always "find" some reason if you really press them about it, it's a mute point.

U should have flashed ur lights back, waved and kept on going home.

I agree that some cars look good sitting on the ground but those are for the hard-parkers. Someone that knows anything about racing will point out the BTCC Super Touring cars will have the appropriate suspension components to allow the car to have the ride height it does and maintain the proper suspension geometry.

That's always made me wonder why they haven't "found a reason" to pull me over. I'm a 20 year old girl who has been driving a 911 since I was 17. I thought for sure someone was bound to pull me over for no reason by now. Still hasn't happened yet and I drive past cops at 3-4 in the morning all the time. I'm kinda shocked.

**h23bb2** · 07-25-2011, 12:44 PM

its a boring car that just kinda blends.... lol jk

**roxie911** · 07-25-2011, 01:56 PM

For you guys it is

lol

Yea, but they get expensive. The bids end up being around $120 near the end.

**Bacon** · 07-25-2011, 08:57 PM

I WANT THAT ORANGE ONE!!!!!

**Mr Egg Rollllll** · 07-25-2011, 08:58 PM

The Fahrenheit one? Yea, me too. It's nuts how much people pay for that.

**Bacon** · 07-25-2011, 09:09 PM

There is a FAST JR on eBay. Just a paper weight though.

**Mr Egg Rollllll** · 07-25-2011, 09:23 PM

I'd want to get a factory VW Fast. Maybe I will later on..for now my angry Fast will do.

move out of PTC and cops wont hassle you.........

**Schroeder** · 07-26-2011, 09:39 AM

For some reason that shift knob looks huge!!!

**Mr Egg Rollllll** · 07-26-2011, 09:49 AM

It does, doesn't it? It's actually slighty smaller than the golf ball one.

i bet you tell a lot of guys that.........

**PTCDC5** · 07-26-2011, 12:32 PM

Is that FAST knob weighted too? The golfball has like nothing to it.

**Mr Egg Rollllll** · 07-26-2011, 12:37 PM

13 oz. It feels awesome. The only thing that I've found to dislike about it though is the hole for the screw just happens to be where I place my finger for 2nd, 4th, and 6th. It feels weird, but that's usually when I'm flicking the shifter. I guess it's time to shift normally?

damn lightweight. The one in the wagon is 480 grams or 17oz... Dad's car and my skunk2 in my prelude both weigh in at 440 grams. Your 13oz is 358ish grams i think...

**bbuba** · 07-26-2011, 01:14 PM

Mines 13.6 oz... not that it matters cuz my shaft is so long and my trans ain't real sporty...

I don't need to move a shift linkage either though...weight's just about perfect.
