getting in to the driver's seat of my dad's new G35 coupe soon as i step out the airport (last night!)

he surprised me and pulls up with, not our old ugly pathfinder, but a brand new black on black G35!

i almost shat my pants! a cop came by and said that we had to move, and i just said "hey man! gimme a minute, this car is sweet!"

it's still in the break in period so i cant take it over 4k rpm

your signature with Kobe is wrong. y ou are going to hell for that;)

Do you think he did it......? Back on topic

MY best driving experience was the first timr I drove a stick. Once I got the hang of, I started downshifting and what not

My second best was when I bought my 240. I was driving to Texas from Florida (I traveled over 3000 total miles for my 240). I downshifted and my stock exhuast is kinda loud (I dont know why to this day, I bought it like that.), so this V6 Accord thought I was revving on him...which I wasn't. Anyway, he ripped me new one. I had to save face and try and catch up, but I was doing over 100 on an old *** car that needed a coolant flush and burned a little oil, and I had to make it back to North Dakota, or at least TX, to get it looked at. So I backed off. He kept messing with me. It was nice. Not all riced out. It was actually pretty clean

Yea ive had the same experience with a civic I have stock exhaust an only went to 4g off a light to get infront of this truck an I guess he thought I was racing, so me an this tricked out IS 300 caught up to him doin a little over 100 an were jus like wtf are u doin!! But back to topic id say the best experience ive had was a bunch of ricers all hang out at the Mcdonalds an I was on my work break so I went up there did a few donuts filled the parkin lot an took off. Oh another one is when it was wet out id do U turns an slide sideways an wave to the ppl sittin at the light. Gotta love RWD!!!

Man I almost forgot...

This is winter only though...

I like taking my FWD Altima to the big *** empty mall parking lot. It is kinda gay but I take a friend and we turn on the ruff ryder anthem real loud and I do all kinds of spin outs in the ice. It is actually fun. I floor it, wait for my tires to grip and pick up speed. Then I throw the hand brake and just....spin. pretty fun since it is so boring in the winter here

Can we just say once for all.. Empty, secluded parking lots are ALWAYS going to be a blast.

I GOTTA TRY THE PARKING LOT ONE DAY

Post by **zachosz** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 12:48 pm

One driving moment i liked was doing 110+ pretty much all the way from Tampa to Orlando, it was a 3 car convoy, my 93 coupe, a 99+ Civic Si and a Dodge Stratus (i know...). It was fun because the Si passed me at first, then i decided to follow, and the Stratus was behind me after a while following us. This was in my 2-day new 240 with full blast Morbid Angel playing on a beautiful Florida day with the windows rolled down. Good times........

Another one was racing a 25th anniversary Z28 on Hwy 50 in heavy traffic, the race was a very close call, I THINK i won, and we were doing from 80-speed cut blasts for like 10 min. Really stupid thing to do, but the rush was unbelievable!!!

Post by **gunclap** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 12:48 pm

going fast on the turns getting the tires up to its maximum grip. feeling like you're not going to make it on the turn, but you always end up making it anyway.

There's many memories, the most recent is when I was roaring through the Virgin River Gorge (:yesnod) in northwestern Arizona, dodging semi's with their hazards on, twisting abruptly through the rock walls and hairpin turns, then blasting westward to the Nevada border and the glimmering lights of Las Vegas.

That was a good drive - hell, any drive that ends in Vegas is a good one. Just ask Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo.

F355@170mph.

and yes, i've been down riverside. the best places to drive are certainly not in atlanta, though. only once you leave atlanta do the roads get good.

nissanrcer240 are you doing an auto to manual trans swap at the same time? or keeping auto sr?

The first night I had my 240 I took it to the Gas Station. It was just starting to rain and when I came out of the station I took a U turn on some very smooth concrete and slid almost the entire way. I didn't even realize I was sliding until I straightened out. The tires made no noise and I never lost control. It was at that point that I knew I made the right decision. I love RWD.

The Kumho tires sucked so I had to get those replaced with some Falken Azenis, which absolutely rock by the way.

Those who live by cheap tires, die by cheap tires.

GREAT Guys..the thoughts of doin the fun things you guys hav with cars should tide me over till I get mine

Post by **nrcooled** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 12:48 pm

I loved taking my 240 to Virginia Int'l Raceway in Danville VA. [Picture it]Flying down the front straight...bumping the speed governer and checking your braking markers to the left... hauling the beast down at the number 3 marker for turn one...rev match to 3rd gear...hit the late apex and let the turbo spool all the way to turn 2 making sure not to overcompensate for oversteer from the SR power[/Picture it]

89240sx- they're talking about the only big riverside in cobb county. technically i guess it's greater atlanta area. and yeah i'm in athens, ga. what is your reasoning for

"athens is hella fun"? are you referring to the roads, or the bars, or what?

forgot to add: going 130 mph in a rented chrysler LHS between vegas and california, my dad was driving, and the car was so smooth i fell asleep (seriously).

Post by **L33TX43RT** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 12:48 pm

Receiving oral, then climaxing at 105mph, in broad daylight - both windows down. I don't recommend it, when you're approaching heavy traffic.

I'm not familiar with the big riverside in cobb county =\ I live in gwinnett and work in Atlanta but dont really go out much although i should.

... and I meant the bars and concerts etc...

I hit a guy on a bike today, well he kind of hit me and then peddled on out of here. But my favorite times are a good street race or ****ing around with a friend
