I hate when threads come off the rails with things completely unrelated to the OP's thread. That said, some of you must be using common core math when trying to convince people that going faster to a destination does not save time.

When your wife asks you to take a ten mile ride to the supermarket next time, try walking instead of driving and tell me which method gets your there faster. How anyone can argue against mathematical certainties boggles the mind.

Merry Christmas! Hallelujah! Holy $h#t! Where's the Tylenol?

I def went off topic. But you're not picking up, what I'm putting down.

You obviously save time speeding. You don't save enough time to make it valuable.

I'm saying if your wife tells you to go to the store, which is lets say 4 miles away, and you go 65mph while I go 45. You dont get there much faster than me, therefore the risks outweigh the benefits.

Im not denying that you get there faster. I'm stating that its literally not worth the extra gas you waste over the tiny amount of time you save.



Sorry that I do this all the time. There will always be topic within a thread that we all feel strongly about. My bad.

Trofeo Rs need to be heated up to work bro, yes it could be the tires. Even Hankook Ventus RS3s need to be carefully driven on the first few miles and don't even drive them below 50 degrees.

Here is a pic , END OF STATEMENT . Nothing about how his friend is doing , Then suddenly everyone is a jerk and idiot if they talk about the Z-28 and not about the people involved yet the OP did not say a single word about them . Then you go and involve a bunch of us saying we are going out giving out wrong info , Excuse me but what exactly was the wrong info that I gave out? And by the way you yourself just gave out info that nobody knows yet that could be wrong saying the tires need to be warmed up ? How do you know if they were cold or warm , Maybe they had drove 100 miles , Or maybe they just pulled out of their driveway ? Point is you do not know . And how do you know God was on their side? Maybe he wasn't and made them crash , Or maybe it was driver error? Or maybe God shouldn't even be involved ,and we should just talk about cars
That was awesome

Do you just randomly attach pics of your car to every post you make?

I had to do this a week ago...Its not a fun thing to do...it happens every day some kid gets a car he has no business having in the first place because of the lack of driving skills some do ok and some kill them selves or others he was lucky this time
