>>14031063
You're a moron.
>>14031065
I had fun. I'll be a moron if I can have that fun again and no one get's hurt.
>>14031071
you already are a moron
this is an experience that should rattle you and make you be more careful, not want to attempt again and 'redeem yourself'
especially since you did this stuff with other cars on the road around you. feel free to fuck up your life but leave everyone else out of it
>>14031151
why the fuck are you even on /o/?
you're a piece of shit anon, you have an awful attitude towards driving and cars in general
I'm glad you had fun OP
The other guy's an asshole
>>14031161
you are allowed to have fun, but not at the expense of others, and crashing your car is not something intelligent people take lightly, enthusiast or not
>>14031193
go away
>>>/b/
>>14031208
he is right though. you are obviously a shit driver who doesn't know his limits, and has no business driving in any way other than the safest way possible. maybe next time leave the car at home and take pic related to school.
>>14031071
>>14031161
>>14031208
You're a fucking idiot.
>>14031151
You know what's good anon.
I have a feeling op watched too much initial D before taking his license test yesterday.
roflmao all the 'safe and responsible' drivers come out of the woodwork
MUH CHILLUNS MUH PUBLIC ROAD nah fuck off. driving fast on public roads is a true test of driver ability and above all else mental agility
but OP is silly for now knowing whats going with his brakes and driving accordingly
>>14031151
The motorcyclists are worse up in Suches. They crash there every day- into cars, rails, off the cliff can't find the guy for over an hour. I had a motorcycle cross double and pass me on the side in my own lane today. I would consider my driving cautious and conservative near a proper limit.
>>14031193
I didn't crash, just a bump and a dent.
>>14031231
I drove over a 100 miles today flat out. Today was definitely a good day.
>>14031241
Eh, could be worse. I know my limits.
>touge with stock pads/rotors
You fucking idiot.
>>14031283
wow you drove 100 whole miles and only had one crash? i take it back you are a super good driver
>>14031288
>you drove 100 whole miles
Just today and every other day I have off. I never said I was good, but okay.
>>14031283
>I know my limits
Clearly you don't kid.
If you crashed into me I would be pissed. You got lucky and are a reason why we can't have nice things. Don't drive beyond your limit. And don't push the limits on a public road.
>>14031288
>>14031241

Yeah, whatever you say friendo.
Anyway, just make sure you're being a retard on left hand turns only. That way you won't risk going into the oncoming lane.
>>14031307

You're an idiot.
>>14031310
Just becuase you know your limits doesn't mean you can't make mistakes lol

I'm op

>crash
lol are you a mom
>>14031314
this doesnt even make sense
>>14031308
im with you OP
>>14031315
How am I an idiot? That's standard practice. If you push it on blind right hand corners you risk going into oncoming traffic.
That's typically why you see the left side of motorcycle tires scrubbed harder.
Go back to your chinese cartoons.

Testing your limits is what tracks are meant for.
I'm not saying you won't "become a better driver" by driving touges, but you will learn 10x faster on a racetrack where you can really push yourself to the max.
Driving on touges is sketchy because your not only putting yourself at risk but other too.
That said, i still drive on touges but i do it safely because i drive way under my limits.
>>14031382
Fuck off wallstreet
you guys are so gross
>>14031354
I wouldn't call it cringy, but practice is practice. I love that road and wouldn't trade it for anything.
>>14031382
I'm with different organizations at Road Atlanta. I pushed a bit too hard today. Just thought I'd share.
>>14031382
Except for most people in the south the closest road track is 4+ hours away, and they're not open that often to public trackdays unless you're already in with a group like BMWCCA.
And even then $200 is almost unreasonable for just 3 or 4 hours of lap time.
>lives near one of the best tracks in the US
>continues to crash into guardrails with his shitbox on all seasons and pretend he's learning something
never change /o/
>>14031401
>Except for most people in the south the closest road track is 4+ hours away,
Too goddamn bad.
go to the track. you have zero skills, you cant build at the limit driving skills on 'da tooj'
>>14031401
the nearest track to me is 299 miles, and i did 18 trackdays this year. stop making excuses, you're at the very bottom of the ladder and you're only hurting yourself by refusing to get gud.
>>14031401
Oh, that sucks. I'v never been to the south so i wouldn't know.
>>14031402
see>>14031396
>>14031410
I would disagree and say every day you drive is a learning experience. Skills can come from knowledge, experience, or both.

Again, most notoriously fast driving loop in my state. Everyone knows they are at risk going though there. The hundred of bikes and cars flying past them should be obvious.

Pretend for a moment that someone like you ran over your mom today doing things like that.
Would you forgive him after he explained to you that he "just pushed it to hard today bro"?
Thought not. Drive safe AROUND OTHERS you dumb immature bitch.
>>14031472
No i'd be pissed at my mom for driving slow and not keeping up.
And if she was walking, I'd be pissed at myself for not taking her for a ride.
>>14031460
Arrrgh are you fucking kidding me
Yes im mad. Grow the fuck up.
>>14031472
Hypothetically I would be extremely upset, but that's the price of freedom.
Freedom isn't free and you can't always be safe. People make choices and there are consequences. That's just how it is.

free·dom
noun
the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.
Cops actively patrol up and down suches. They know speed is a given and accidents are common.

Therefore I have freedom

on a track there will rarely be a corner under 50mph and never less than 120mph straight.
it's not even close to being comparable. you cant learn shit on a public road.
you start a slowfag and 10 years later you'll still be a slowfag.
even a weekend of conefagging will teach you more than years worth of le epin toegay running
>>14037784
>you cant learn shit on a public road.
Factually wrong on all accounts, but have fun at the track.
>>14037784
>learning anything from conefagging after year one
Yeah, naw. The only thing I learned after year 2 of cone-fagging was unless I was trailering a car that was un-drivable on the street I wasn't going to win beyond small local events.
Also you sure do learn a great deal in those 5-10min a day of seat time.
Eat a dick you colossal faggot.
>>14037922
If you ever get on a track you'll realize how foolish people that think you can hone driving skill on public roads are. You have 0 perspective on the matter so your thoughts on it are meaningless.
>>14038358
All I said was your statement is factually wrong. People learn from experience- period. So you can't say you don't learn anything.
>>14038372
You can learn from experience. Clearly OP didn't.
>brakes are toast
W-what? Your brakes were bad?
Why were you driving it?
>>14038372
There's too many variables on public roads, and no way to measure your progress. You also can't go anywhere near the limit of your car repeatedly, on the same turn, without crashing your car. This is why it's not possible to get valuable experience on the road, you can't know what you did wrong to a meaningful degree, and you can repeat it enough times for correct behavior to be a part of your muscle memory.
>>14038402
Either his brakes were fading and he somehow didn't notice it until then, his brake fluid boiled off because it was "wet" since he hadn't changed it since the dawn of time, or he's a retard looking for an excuse that makes his error in judgement sound like an equipment failure.
I've driven those roads up and down in North Georgia, and I have to say... How did you manage that OP?
Like they all have nice banks into them and warning markers for when the next hairpin is coming up. The speed limit wouldn't be 50 if they thought that normal drivers couldn't average that.
And as for the shameless damage control to the lashback you are receiving from the more mature br/o/'s here, I personally think you should have just slid off the mountain instead of hitting the gaurdrail, maybe it would have taught you some humility.
>>14038395
You did bad, so obviously you can't do any good and will never know how to because you don't do it the way I say.
>This is you
>>14038434
>warning markers for when the next hairpin is coming up
This is true. I was dazed from having bumped the rail and also my brakes went out. All I got was a small dent I pushed out earlier today.
>humility
I told a story and asked how was o's Saturday. Why you guys make everything a shitfest is your own problem. I'm content as is.
>>14038442
>I crashed my car and took that as a sign that I wasn't driving hard enough so I crashed my car again

stay mad though. I'm sure op will continue to have loads more fun than you without being a cunt.
>>14038513
I'll have more fun driving faster than him in the mountains because I won't have the friction of all the guardrails slowing me down.
>>14038536
You'll still be a lonely bitter cunt
>>14038481
Listen kid, your the one on /o/ telling everybody about your near death experiences in North Georgia. If you didn't want commentary then why did you post?
We're trying to get through your thick skull and convince you that you need to take it easy and stop doing this shit. I'm heading back up to those mountains next weekend while i'm off from college break and I personally don't want you crashing into me because you don't know what brake fade feels like and/or don't let up because of it.
We discipline because we love you. Please just stop.
>>14038347
>he doesn't know autox has classes for street cars
You've never been conefagging have you? Also it's not about winning I don't even know why you brought that up lol. Stay slow dude.
>>14038550
>near death
If the pole wasn't there I would have came to a complete stop. All I got was 2 inch dent I pushed out. Why is everyone exaggerating?
Of course I'm going to take it easier, but this really wasn't necessary.
>>14038550
>We discipline you because we love you
Fuck off. You aren't "disciplining" him, you're whining about a story he told on an image board. And don't pretend you give a shit about OP, you just like feeling like you're better than him because you argue about laptimes all day instead of driving.
>>14031063
I went out to pick up my new to me drums...
>>14031063
>going back tomorrow
Do you really lack that much of a driving route that your first instinct is to "go back tomorrow" instead of letting the line cool off a bit?
You're not even an idiot, OP, just a shit-tier driver.
You'll get arrested for being a creature of habit or you'll die.
Either way, hope you have fun.
>>14037784
>even a weekend of conefagging will teach you more than years worth of le epin toegay running
so a weekend, about 20 minutes total, of driving 15-30mph on a shitty parking lot will teach you more than years of driving at higher speeds on faar more complex courses? retarded kid
>>14038552
>he seriously spends all day hanging out only to be able to drive for 10 minutes around a parking lot in second gear, for FUN and not for competition
sick bro.
>>14038546
At least I'm a lonely bitter cunt with an unwrecked car.
The car always has to have lower limits than the driver. Otherwise the driver ends up driving fast.
If the driver is driving fast, he is doing a shitty job of everything.
If you have to put effort into your driving, you are over your limit. SLOW DOWN. If you can't drive with your tires balanced on the limit of adhesion while being as relaxed as if you are on a Sunday cruise, you are doing it wrong.
