Well glad you made it back in one piece. Not to many people will take a car they work that hard on and put it through something like that. Especially if its not designed to be doing those types of things.

I'm with You Dog that Thinking gets You nowhereThe "im better than you" remarks are always the coolest way to win the argument........
No one ever said they were the ubber greatness at a Mtn Run, I was just notifying the guy who posted in the other thread there's no one coming with a ricer mentality that would put others in danger. You can quote this and make your comments and whatever, but shit happens........plain and simple, get off your high horse of "I drive this car and I'm better" shit because no one cares.......
and I drive a cavalier........wOOt......
jokes about that were old 5yrs ago......welcome back to highschool
Don't let it get 2 You Bro
There will ALWAYS be someone being Rude about something and everything

Hey thanks man! That's what I like about it though! Taking a car that wasn't meant to do anything BUT be an economical grocery getter and turn it into something decent. That's why I find it HIGHLY hilarious that people with honda's, 240sx's, etc talk as much shiz as they do. True some may have that racing heritage behind their name but Nissan nor did Honda build their lower market cars to be anything of what they are today! People have done hardcore things with them to give them that "street rep" to where they're accpeted in most cases. I could care less if anyone ever respects a cavalier, but from knowing how shatty a cavalier comes, I have much respect to see what they're capable of and didn't mind investing money into mine to follow that path.
And Thanks Corey and Andy! Some people will never grow up no matter how much they put on the act.........
So what's your explanation for this?
^^ There is none........look at the picture and call it how you see it.......
Constantly looking for drama = TeH

Believe me, I am not looking for drama. There is enough on this site as it is. I am just trying to figure out why you are on the wrong side of the double yellow lines, when there is a curve right in front of you.^^ There is none........look at the picture and call it how you see it.......
Constantly looking for drama = TeH
I sure would hate for someone else to be on a mountain run, and come flying the opposite way and hit you head on.
Ok, fine. Just let me know the next time you go to the mtns, so I wont.
OK!!!

You know me, and you know I'm all for having a good time. There's a time and a place for everything. You should know that.
I didn't take any crazy risks with passing! I do respect other drivers on the road (and anyone on this run will attest to me slowing down respectively for any biker, person hiking, or slow moving vehicle.) I'm not the one to fly past everyone doing 90 just to be ignorant and attempt to scare them. I'd hate to bring my little sister up there or friends just to encounter doing something crazy, so I keep that in mind also.
Edit: And if you want a viable excuse, I'm sure when Andy took that photo, he was much closer to Dominic in the e30! Because of the wide angle of the lense on the camera it makes everything look much more out of porportion than they really are! That curve wasn't anywhere near within 80ft of us, and Dominic wasn't 6 cars ahead of Andy! We stayed pretty tight after everyone figured out their limits in the beginning (I guess I didn't, OMG'ers lolerz....)
And don't worry, I wouldn't want a nOOb who's arrogant to the fact that everyones car doesn't handle on rails with me on one anyone!
It's like nagging at someone who loves to drift when they spin their car into an embankment! It comes with the territory, get over it.....

That's good to hear, but posting a pic like that will make people ask questions. Especially those who run the same roads you guys do.
^^ True.....

yea, i should have left that one outi was copy and pasting them, not examining the pictures very well in the process

Food for thought.
I have been running up in the mtns for many, many years. It is a very rare occurance for me to make a mistake on the track or on the street; however, if you have not been off the road in the mtns at least a couple of times, it is highly unlikely that you will become very fast. In learning your personal and your vehicle limits, it is inevitable that you will make errors in judgement.
Learn from your mistakes and figure out how to avoid them next time. Do not let this be a lesson that you did not learn something from.
I dont discard any car, if the driver is good the car can go fast in the mountains. I am sorry that it happened and am happy that you are not hurt but that is what happens sometimes when you go up there. Good luck getting everything back together.
most people my car and not my name.

passing on double yellow FTL. cant argue your way out of a hole
Bahahahaha! You are completely ignorant to what racing heritage and factory teams did. Two examples of this that people that are on IA own:
1439/2000 BMW 2002
The famous #46 BRE 510:
And my 510:
Both "econo boxes," yet both had factory backing. When has GM factory backed a J body for anything that has to do with professional road racing besides John Lingenfelter? And that wasn't actually factory backing. I won't even get into the racing heritage Honda/Mugen has with the CRX. And a JDM 240SX/Silvia was made with a 2.0l turbo engine, but not marketed as a performance vehicle? You must be kidding. And how about the SE-R Cup cars? A Sentra "econo box" 1 make series....backed by Nissan. Need I go on? I can pull out Nissan ads that talk about Pete Brock winning 2 championships for Nissan. You don't want to play this game with me.
The bottom line is that a "veteran time attack, Mountain run man" such as yourself wouldn't have made such a novice mistake.....even driving a J body.

history lesson ftw!! since you directly said honda and 240 im assuming your taking that shot at me since ive got a civic and a 240sx.. but how could you say they did not intend for them to become what they are? the EF9 SiR (civic) was one of the first hondas with VTEC, with a first gen b16. the 240 was built to be a decently powered RWD sports car, coming with a 2.0 in japan with stock forged internals along with a near perfect weight distribution, independant suspension, and 4 wheel disc.. you think they never intended for it to be more than a "econobox" put-around car??
David88vert, I was just waiting on someone with some sense to post something like that. That's the truth with anything motorsports! I've yet to know anyone on an autoX course or actual track who hasn't gotten alittle squirrely or has taken it into the tirewall while pushing it hard. It's a common story to the point where it's barely mentioned. That's not saying everyone can't hold traction while pushing their car but I've yet to meet them. Truthfully, this was the first time out there with the new suspension set-up. I've been used to the body roll giving me some warning on that particular section where we were but this time it was stiff and threw me right out of the apex.
What was ironic about that section of the circle we were on (before I had the accident) I warned everyone about how the turns on that particular highway are long and flat, also, they even angle to the outside in some areas (which this turn was). So when I got to it I was caught off gaurd by how much it threw me out and by the time I semi found a way to correct it, my right rear was caught hold by the embankment and it pulled the whole car into it.
As said by the couple people i've done Mtn runs with in the past....try to feel out your car soon because it's very unforgiving out here. Most of the turns we were doing earlier (hwy 180 to point out one) had banked corners so you have to pretty much be a true idiot to lose control on them. These turns were just forgotten from the last time I was up and i put too much confidence in the new suspension from the earlier roads to really be on my toes for these.
And green91........I could care less about arguing over something I already explained. If someone is childish enough to still feel it neccesary to flex their E-balls about that then they're immature enough to be ignored
Being hypocritical gets no respect from me, why post up being condescending about "ricers" endangering ppl and then have pictures of you passing on double yellow zones? I consider that to be more immature than pointing something out on an internet forum.
Im done with this, sorry your car got hurt today.

Haha you're a tard........
You FAIL to see what I had posted.....
Lets go back!
Maybe I should have put "used for" in the place you see it, for you to get what I was talking about....True some may have that racing heritage behind their name but Nissan nor did Honda build their lower market cars to be anything of what they are "USED FOR" today!
Ok ok ok! I'm sure Nissan TOTALLY had drifting planned out when they marketed their nissan S13, S14, S15, Skyline, etc etc etc....
I'm sure they planned on full engine management systems to be made, 50mm+ turbo's to be used, super wide tires and crazy suspension set-ups to be installed. I'm sure you get the point....
In essence NO car company from the 1980's that's still around today had any idea of what was to come of their lower line of cars made at the time in the hands of our Gen......
History lesson! LMFAO.....Just because I drive a cavalier doesn't mean I don't do car research and enjoy vintage motorsports......
Dumbass assumptions FTL.......
Exactly. Oh well. It is what it is. I have already proved my point.

You two think what you must! I have no control of whatever you think! When I talk about someone as being a "ricer", I mean their attitude about things. You can push your little crossing the double line as a ricer move but I didn't drive from newnan to N. GA to be held up by a 20mph van in a 45mph zone either. Nor did I travel that far for me to end up with a busted car. Shit happens, if you've made your point, move on to the next thread to talk moreor call it a night!
we were on our way to Wendys then the lil incident occured...
I was like "hey Jamal what now?"
he goes "lets go to Wendys for 99cent burgers!" haha...
sheesh.
Can't beat the 99
You can tell I was a little out of it because I got a #2 instead lmao!
