    98.45% of IA thinks they are better drivers than they really are.

    You can't argue with statistics.

    well everyone knows that you dont get your driver mod and box of driving skill until you turn 25.

    Well at least thats what your insurance company thinks, that magically at 25 your driving is going to be different than when you were 24.99 years old.

    Everyone into cars always think they "can" drive, but I have we have taken customers in their own cars for rides and they rethink their statement. I am not the best driver, but I know how to handle a vehicle. There are still tons of things I need to learn..

    idk what you guys are talking about. just being a member here automatically gives you the necessary skills to out drive michael shumacher.



    i will say however, when i see an indian woman driving i just go ahead and drive myself into the guard rail and save her the hassle of running me into it.

    Compared to actual drivers I'm nothing, but compared to common people I'm amazing lol.

    But I improve here and there I guess, I don't stress on it too much since I like the straight line more.



    Good tip I have found is while in a turn, which every side the weight is transfered to, let that arm do the controling and the other arm make minor adjustments through the turn. Much better feel for the car.
    Got a MINI? Don't talk to me.

    The ignorance is clear. Show these images to any Top Fuel/Funny Car/Pro Stock driver and and they'll tell you what's up..
    It's a little harder when your engine makes something called torque and the rear wheels are trying to come to the front.

    edit: Oh, and I bet if that "fast driver" was to go to a dragstrip and tried to launch his car, he won't be able to do it as well as the guy who has some seat time in his "fast car." Get my drift? You gotta compare apples to apples.

    Money can buy driving skills, its whether people use them or not is the issue.

    It can by knowledge, if it bought skill everyone who graduates racing schools would be skillful in driving. That's not the case.

    I like to think I'm a fairly fast driver.

    Outrunning s2k's, FD's, RX8's, and such at the Dragon in a GS-R sedan on eGay coils with stock struts makes for some pretty funny stories.

    They are to a degree. Is that degree high enough for pro racing? Probably not. However if they had a lot of money they could get all the tools they need to be a successful driver. For some it would take a lot of money, for others it might not be as much. Either way though money is the important variable in this equation.
