| 645933 | 2008-03-27 03:11:00 | Obviously somebody thinks all drivers should be driving their tires and vehicle on the ragged edge of control. Immature and irrational. :knuckle-dragger: Not really that immature. Who says people loose control just being idiots (implied)? I remember when I had first gotten my car, and I was getting used to the dynamics on this thing and how differently it was compared to my dads corolla, didn't have to do anything rash to find out very quickly this difference (of course in winter time). |

| 645934 | 2008-03-27 12:25:00 | my mum has a 2.5L v-something bmw, with traction control, abs, etc etc sitting in the passenger seat, i can feel the traction control struggling to keep the car in check. she doesn't even realise how much power she's demanding by flooring the gas everywhere. similar story for the brakes, which she loves to stab at right in the apex of a curve. scary stuff. |

| 645936 | 2008-03-27 21:03:00 | Why??? :) because you can't drive for long without experiencing either . on country roads its just an everyday normal part of driving . no different to driving around Auckland streets just after its rained . even open road its not uncommon to get thrown sideways a bit due to bumps on the road or blown around by the wind . like motorbyclist mum, ignorance is bliss . you need to practice for those moments where you need to control slides etc . you never know when you have to drive off the road to avoid being hit head on by some idiot . a good example was a family member driving my ute got head by a truck's load, lost all steering and the car following the truck had to dive down the grass at 80-100km/h . she did an excellent job of high speed grass driving to avoid the carnage . don't know who she was but she needs an award for having some excellent driving skills . she did very well not to be hit by the trucks load or my ute and not spin out on the grass . |

| 645938 | 2008-03-29 02:27:00 | Whats her fuel consumtion like. ???? :) she doesn't know... i imagine it's horrendous she also likes to park for 10 minutes in pay & display spaces and rather than pay $4, she'll run the risk of a $12 fine. one day i was alerted to her borrowing my car by both a full gas tank (cheers mum!) and an $80 parking fine in the glovebox:groan: you need to practice for those moments where you need to control slides etc. it doesn't help that people insist on buying "cars" that can't actually manuvuer(sp?) at speed (nz.youtube.com) (totally agree with that post too) |
