on the detailing gear.... are the bottles ok???

mmm.... in fact, I have built a PW 370Z in GT-5

Pump up to 530hp and with all those wings and wheels.... something I won't do to the Z in real life...

I think I read that thread couple days ago.... I think I wanted to type something but I didn't....

Cos I doubt they have the intelligence to understand my(our) language...

mr.alcheng- dang... that 530hp Z sounds great.

i played the original ps1 (jdm) grantourismo, but after find out i had to re-buy all my cars from the beginning, i was like

and just kinda put it on the side. and with my newborn at the time, i had literally NO TIME to be playing games + my car hobby, music hobby.

i cracked up when one of the detailing gear manufacturers were inviting me all the time to meets saying 'oh, ken, just take a break and come out here, spend a few days at the dragon, etc.' im like yah, new baby, no time... thanks, but no thanks. and a few yrs went buy and when they had a baby they were like 'omg, someone stop the crying' and they shutdown all the meets and pretty much their store.

i was like NOW YOU F-KING KNOW!

ahahaha.

but having kids is great.

pretty soon i'll be playing these car games with them. they'll be like 'dad, you suck...'

btw, my detailing gear bottles are all okay.

thanks for asking.

I understand sometimes it takes away some fun from spirit-driving, but some people in the forums are rookies or non-experienced, should we confuse them with this kind of information....???

It's an active-safety feature prevent the vehicle from losing control.... don't understand why people will say it's not safe....

Next we should tell people: "dude... you better unplug the airbag cos what it only does is to smack your face when you crash..!!"

i dont bash vdc, but i too dont use it most of the time. reason being, i know how my car spins so having that on makes me actually lose control vs gain control, especially in very slippery conditions.

i didnt use vdc in the snow at all when i drove my G in the snow with LM60's. i had zero problems in deep snow. i had more issues with vdc on. with rwd, i steer my car with the throttle often.

unless im having problems keeping the car to go straight in super slick conditions even with snow tires, i dont use vdc.

most of the time it's the poor tire choice people make for the weather/season and just lack of experience and maturity. what i really dont get are people that buy expensive wheels and mod suspension then settle on some shitty tires.. then crash.

then blame it on vdc-off. it's not the car, it's you.

Mr.kenchan.... I am pretty sure you will have couple more Zs in the house some 10 to 15 years later when the Minis have their Zs and you might go to the dragons together...

I wonder how many of them [as soon as they realize they are out of control] pushed the button again thinking it would turn VDC back on..

Driving like a boss

Slick tight curve [VDC OFF]

Goes into turn

Starts getting squirrely

Rear end comes out

[VDC OFF(ON)] Damn you turn ON!!

And then skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [deep breath] eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!

I fell out laughing reading the thread to start off with, then Triples set me to giggling again!!

It must be one of the Mods since they don't give positive rep with their rep being so far in the negative.

Pintsize725 · 12-26-2012, 11:09 PM

It's a mod rep. Not noob.
