    COG - Yessurrr! Got her for $111.17 from Riverdale radiator! Couldn't believe my ears and it's definately brand spankin new! She's been running now for 3 weeks though! Just 5-10sec start ups though. The valves haven't seated yet and you can hear a small ticking. Nothing major, hell, we even fixed the damn frame here at the house. Guess we should've opened that shop before giving up on it

    not all i am sure.

    Wow, the Yaris actually oversteers on occasion? Thats surprising. How well does it handle? I've been interested in them for a while now (I liked the first gen Vitz).

    I'm afraid that I'll end up with the same opinion about downhill as everyone else, I'd be afraid of taking my car past it's limits and understeer into something.

    Oh and lol @ The Duke and giving Jamal some wings. haha

    Just build up to a level where you feel comfortable taking your car downhill.

    I went to the mountains by myself about three or four times before I went with a group. That way I could drive at a pace that i felt comfortable with, and gradually build up enough confidence to drive harder. I learned how long I can wait before braking, how my car will react to steering changes ect... NOw i can keep up with cars that SHOULD walk away from me in the twisties.

    But I'm also a crazy mofo who gets sideways around every corner.

    Nothing more frightening than seeing a car all over the double yellow in a blind turn.

    Why would you do that? The rear is more important than your front, when it comes to handling.

    Definitely. Get about 5-6 people and split the cost on a cabin. That way we can run all night and not have to worry about driving home.
